Well, I saw your post AFTER I had processed the film in SPUR by customer
request. This developer is something like $35.00 a bottle for 8 rolls. Quite
expensive. and something that I didn't buy.  The film is now  hanging in my
drying box. I'll sleeve it Monday when I go back in to the studio. This
product while it may be good, doesn't seem to me, worth the hassle. What
with so many other good options,  I don't know why I'd recommend this path.
Thanks for the reply. Tech Pan for me processed nicely in HC110 at 1:25 to
1:50. 

 

The developer has a short and since new, unknown shelf life.  I'll post my
thoughts on it after I inspect the 4 rolls that were processed. These
represent a few test shots, and some general shooting. The customer did not
shoot same subject with other film to compare to so the only thing that I
can do is give best guess about process of film in SPUR at 1:14. (approx. I
diluted 70ml of SPUR to make 1000ml of developer) .

 

I also had a roll of Verichrome and Artista II from same customer. I quickly
looked up Arista II on Freestyle's site and saw an HC110 recommendation of
dilution B shown as 1:31.  ( 1:7 is B)  I fear the further we get away from
film being mainstream, the more errors will start popping up in data sheets,
etc.

Sorry for the late reply...
I have tried this film and I like it.
I tested it with their own developer (SPUR DC) as a trial kit; and was quite
impressed of the definition and lack of grain at EI32
I tested another roll in Amaloco AM74 1+19 for 5 minutes and the result was
quite contrasty (EI 32)
CAVEAT is that this film is like TechPan; prone to over development and
extreme contrast so a low contrast developer should work fine.

So I guess you can use Rodinal 1+100 (~5 min) or 1+150 9~6.5 min)

I've got a client that tried the new Rollie ATP film. Has anyone here tried
it and which developer did you use?  Thanks
