My Konica images are on my Web page, so you can judge for yourself.  I
"usually" shoot it @ EI 8 when metered through a #25 filter.  I like to
develop it with Rodinal, but would guess that ID11 would be your choice
of developer.  WJ can probably help you with advice on the B+W 092
filter.  I've used a Hoya R72 and it works famously.
