Hello all,

I'll follow up on Richard's suggestion and try it at 200, 320, 400, and 800. Thanks.

Still several hours of daylight so I'll shoot today and develop tomorrow, along with a bunch of Shanghai 100 4x5 I'm trying out.

Cheers,
Bogdan

Ah, Thank you.  I'll try the D-76 at 8 min with an EI of 200, 400, 800,
and 1250... 4 sheets.

Cheers,
Bogdan

I wouldn't bother with the 1250 speed. That was for Royal-X Pan, a completely different film. Royal Pan is an ISO-400 film which given the age will probably work better at about EI-200 or 320. Certainly not at a higher than rated speed. Keep in mind that the ISO system has no fudge factor so the box speed is the maximum that will yield good shadow detail. Tone rendition will not suffer from additional exposure but will from less. I don't have curves for Royal Pan, from the description (brilliant highlight separation, etc) it sounds like a long toe film. That makes me wonder why they made it when Tri-X Pan Professional (the sheet film) has a similar characteristic and speed.
