Duration
8 minutes, 40 seconds at 20°C/68.0°F

Notes
Took twenty seconds off from the recommended 9 minute duration (massive dev) to account for no stop bath. I used a water rinse only. Negs turned out well, nice tonality. Slight grain, but not overdone.

great photos ! but got a really (REALLY) basic question
The instructions say to mix dd-x 1+4
so thats 1 parts dd-x and 4 parts water ...
however on something like the 'massive dev film chart'
there is options for dd-x stock and dd-x (1+4)
my question : when some says they use dd-x (1+4) does that mean
1 part dd-x and 4 parts water
or
1 part dd-x (already diluted as per ilford instructions) AND 4 parts water?
THANKS !
