I've used HP5+ with D 76 1-1 at 68 degrees for 11 minutes (I rate it at 200)
as my N time for many years and have never experienced excessive FB+F. I've
also used it with pyro but I didn't see any better prints from PMK pyro
negatives than I get from D 76 so I don't use pyro any more. If you're
interested, I can try to retrieve all the densitometer readings I made when
I was doing my tests and see exactly what the FB+F was with D 76.
