Does anyone use this developer?
My developing experience is limited to using Ilford film and chemicals using the manufacturers dilution and time instructions. I have just got a batch of FP4 so it will have to be used with this this film initially. Use of Adox CMS or Rollei 80S might be considered in the future (if I can get it).
Any ideas about dilution and developing times? And will use of ilford stop bath and fixers work OK with this developer?
I am not looking for any special effects, just plain printing with a new chemical.

it's rodinal, so you can use rodinal dilutions and times unchanged

As pdh said.
I use it 1:100, one hour stand development.

Stop bath and fixer brand have no bearing towards the result of the development, so just use whatever you have at hand or can get most conveniently.

You may want to do an ISO test roll to find the ISO that suits your the density of the negative you are looking for. I have found 1/2 box speed for me works best... but, with any new developer to you, an ISO test roll is a good thing.
