This is a really boring post about some technical junk because I couldn’t find any information when I searched for it.

So, this is a crappy phone photo (inverted, contrast added) of a random test sheet of 8x10 Fujifilm HR-U developed in Ilfotec DD-X. I did a test sheet looking out the office bay door. Metered it at ƒ16 and ISO 25. Half the exposure is ~1 second and the other is ~2 seconds (shot on T, slid the darkslide roughly half way). For better or worse, I developed this at room temp (roughly 72ºF) in DD-X for 11 minutes in a Cibachrome 8x10 Drum on a Uniroller. This was not scientific, just a really fast proof of concept / ballpark test. I’ll scan it at some point and add a neutral scan to this post. Incidentally, the only developer even listed for HR-U on the Massive Dev Chart is Rodinal (which, if there’s gonna be one…)..

If anyone ever sees this, I hope it’s helpful even if it’s sort of a crappy test.

Editing to add the scan. Scan is generous—it’s a digital snap on a light table, but it gets the job done. Definitely some chemistry nonsense happening I’m not too worried about it at this point. Below are a couple of grain details at 200%. Again, I can’t imagine anyone will ever see this.
