if it's B/W then you should be able to ! do not give it a bleach or 2nd dev , so just dev as you would for a neg ? I have never used this film I think you find it a agfa film, you can also email wittner if you have many ?????

PXR-50 Is Kodak Plus-X. It is clearly in the description.
Wittner perforate their own.
Kind regards,

Would this be right?

Would D19 8min 20c best in this case?
I use xtol for my other films

WITTNER have confirmed that it will work as negative and a lot of people use it that way. But they don't have any times for recommendation as negative.

Is D19 a good developer?
What's the big differences vs xtol?
I suppose D19 gives more contrasts?

I would like to get the benefits of a slower film grain and dynamic range.

Check also EDUCATE and FILM research

D19 is best for reversal.
D76 is used for negative. Negative doesn't do well for sparkling contrast. Also negative is far more difficult to get evenly processed film from.

Well it's a good thing you come on to a forum to ask many ? The thing with diy filming there are no set rule's just points from where you start ! and the line you finish !
And homecooking takes time in learning what you are doing ! the dev time's which Aj told you about are agood starting point ,
Do reseach and find out what right for you ! and be ready fo disppointments that all part of the learning ?
