I have being follwing the thrad about the stand development method. Mys questions is this:

Could I do the stand up method with any other developer? Or only rodinal can be use like this?

Is the stand up method and the 1 hour times (+/-) because the diluition (1+100), in oposite to, ex: 6 to 8 minutes with 1+4 developer?

Also I read that this method is better for iso of 25-100, I have a ilford f pan 50, is it better to this method is this film? May I use my t-max developer,with a 1+100 diliuition?
 
Yes, but I don't know why. Ansel Adams did it with HC-110. And I'm sure there are many others; Diafine is one. I've seen D-76 used but not by me. Just as a starting point, I use Ansel's method with my own versions: HC-110, 4ml syrup (USA), to make 500ml, 28 minutes with 2 inversions every 5 minutes, 68 degrees (20C), TriX at 250. Personally I think it is a waste of time. And I wasted plenty of it on stand development, you can get the same negatives by just developing normally but greatly reducing agitation, or using a two bath method.
 
Thanks! The thing is, here we do not have much offer in developers, so It was a something that I wanted to ask!
