Hi. Tony,
You are pritty close! I develop HIE in XTOL 1+1 at 20 degrees C. (is 68
degr. F.) for 8 1/2 minutes and get very good negatives. Of course I
always bracket: standard, +1, -1. In most cases standard is OK, but also
- -1 is very printable and has often a better contrast. I measure TTL with
#25 red filter on the lens and set my camera-exp. meter at 640 ASA. I
use a Nikon 801S (8008S) camera.
Hope this info will help you. Success!
