Semi-Stand Development - FX55

In today's video I examine whether Geoffrey Crawley's FX55 (FX-55) works well with reduced agitation or semi-stand development. Being a phenidone developer it should be less effected by development by-products and show little bromide drag but what of the compensation and increased sharpness that semi-stand can provide? Does FX55 show any of these characteristics? Take a look at my preliminary findings.

FX55 1+1 dilution means to dilute the standard working FX55 developer with an equal amount of water.
