<< The HIE film box insert from Kodak specifies UNDILUTED D-76 for 11min at 68

 that Guido did not use the KODAK published starting point when he used D-76
 at 1:1 dilution and that he was not happy with the result. 
 On the other hand, Cor's post  specifies 1:1 and that he is happy with his
 results.  But, he also indicates an EI of 250, whereas Guido's EI was 400.
 Given the differences in IR sensitivity of meters relative to visible
 light, it is reasonable to assume that Cor is simply putting more light on
 the film than Kodak assumes and processing weaker than Kodak recommends.
 That's OK, of course.  Maybe even preferable?  It all seems quite plausible
 to me, so what is the issue here, if any?

Thats very interesting to shoot at either 250 or 400, whenever I've used the
Kodak HIE i've always shot at EI 32.. Has anyone else done this? I've also
developed with D-76 Undiluted for usually 8-mins with a test strip of the
negatives and then seen how they come out and modify my times + or - from
there.. has anyone else done this or am I wasting time developing twice?
