I use it exclusively with Konica.  Much depends upon the time of year
I'm shooting.  This summer I developed via Rodinal 1+100 70F 5 minutes. 
One might think that this would lead to thin negatives, but this simply
isn't the case when dealing with IR-rich subjects.  Konica,
unfortunately, gives me more problems with blowing out the highlights in
the summer than any other film I know.  As we move into Autumn and
Winter, I'll decrease the dilution eventually to 1+50 and end up develop
ing for about 7 minutes.  These values are a result of shooting EI8,
metered through a #25 filter.  As previously stated, you can check my
Web page for examples of shooting and developing with these values.

P.S.  At the end of the month I will be putting a few images on my Web
page that compare Kodak shot at differing EIs.  I will also post a
Konica and Ilford image or two.
