Many thanks John,
Very useful, didn't know about this massive dev chart, so will def be using
in future.
This looks like this is as near as I'll get on any chart, although the fact
that the stock is 5222 35mm rather than 7222 16mm still leaves some open
questions about specificity of stock and whether dev times alter according
to gauge.
No time to shoot a test on the same stock on this occasion so may well pop
out a buy a small bottle of Xtol to be on the safe side!
All best
Stuart
