[LargeFormat] Expanding and Contracting Ilford FP4+

[largeformat@f32.net]

I process 35mm fp4 for a lady in PMK standard dil.  This is based on her
shooting the film at 125 ei.  It has been my experience that I can get the
full film speed out of the Ilford emulsions with PMK, YMMV.  14.5 minutes
with a 2 min prewash and 1 min water stop  4 minute rapid fix.  Everything
looks good.  Prints really easy.  I would imagine that time will work for a
starting place for the larger Ilford films.  Personally, I would  use a
faster film for the large format stuff.  It helps to have the extra stop for
wind and the like.
