I forgot to comment that the three liquid German developers I have
used from about 2002: Rodinal, Rodinal Special and Tetenal Ultrafin
Plus indicate the dilution with the symbol "+", f.e. 1+25, 1+50, 1+4,
1+ 3 and others Agfa developers instructions were given using the "+"
symbol too, in the other hand Ilford and Kodak use the symbol ":" for
the different dilutions, after eight years of continous use I became
familar with the liquid German developers.
BTW, my Pan F 50 developed in the Microdol X full strength looks
pretty good really.
