With a lomo tank I make 12 minutes for both. I use the Ilford method for B/W
reversal: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/20061291034093.pdf
but two with little variation:
- to the first developer I don't add sodium thiosulphate, but just I use
plain PQ universal 1+5, that I re-use also for the second developing (you
can do also 4x50ft rolls/litre, if you don't leave too many days on the
shelf. Otherwise prepare only 600ml and use for one roll). Simpler and works
anyway.
- for the bleach I don't use sulphuric acid, but soduim bisulfate (*not
bisulfite!*) instead: 17.5 g in 500 ml. Much less dangerous than sulfuric
acid.
But I like better pushing Plus-X at 160 EI and 1st developing it for 18
minute, nothing varies for the others baths. It's just a matter of
preferences.
In the summer I find hard to work at 20 °C, so I go 24°C. In that case I
make 8 minutes (or 12 if I push Plus-x at 160 EI).
