"At this point in time" ( a great line from the70's), I do not remember what
the processing was. I normally
used D-76 at dilution 1:1 with a water presoak and post soak. However at times
and for certain situations I
used FG-7, UFG, Diafine, Acufine, or Rodinal. It was probably not Rodinal and
most likely UFG or Acufine.
Best to all, Mike
