When starting with a new film/developer combination, make sure that you get and read the manufacturer datasheets of both developer and film first - most of the manufacturers have datasheets available on the Web:
o Kodak <http://www.kodak.com/ciHome/products/L1/>, or call 1-800-242-2424 ext. 19 if you are in the US;
o Agfa <http://www.agfaphoto.com/products/index.html>;
o Ilford <http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/homeng.html>;
o Fuji <http://www.fujifilm.com/>.

o Photo Source <http://www.digitaltruth.com/>, with the Massive B&W Dev Chart, a gigantic list of development times for a lot of film/developer combinations.
