ARISTA.EDU EDU film development.

[Einstein]

Well I bought a dozen rolls of this in 120 format just to try it out. I use Rodinal for Neopan Acros development. Is this a good match for the ARISTA to be processed with, I do the Acros for ten minutes and get magnificent results.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
James.

Rate it at half the advertised ISO and use the same development as the equivalent Fomapan film. Rodinal works well with Fomapan.

well I rate it at 80 asa and already have two rolls for development, so that time will not work.

Good for you or sorry to hear that- or whatever.

And likewise.

Why not use the Massive Dev Chart as a starting point, they have times and dilution for 50 and 100 ISO. It's listed as Arista EDU Ultra if that's what you've purchased.

If it is the Arista 100 iso film and you shot it at 80 iso give it 10% less time of its listed time in Rodinal, do one roll to see if its what you want or it can be the benchmark for modification in the development for the other film rolls shot at 80 iso.... less or more time in the developer so the negatives are to your prefrence in density and contrast.

For 100 and 200 speed (120 and 35mm) I have had great results semi-stand developing Fomapan in HC-110. I pre-rinse the film then develop at 100:1 ratio for an hour with 4 inversions at the start and 4 at the 30 minute mark. Haven't tried 400 speed.

Yes I looked there, they use the same timing and dilution for the Acros I use, so I have decided to go with there numbers.
The reason I asked for advice was because Freestyle gave these numbers, literally twice the developing time for 1:50 dilution and I became immediately suspicious when I saw 13 minutes…..so it’s 7 minutes then, doing them later this afternoon. The Rodinal bottle is six years old and these will finish it off, still looks as good as new with using the inert gas in it.

What does Acros have to do with this?

Edit: I had to check the times on the Massive Dev chart site, and the times for Acros and for Arista EDU are not at all the same. I guess I'm misunderstanding something. [TABLE="class: mdctable sortable"]

I've shot so much of this bulk loaded film. As others mentioned, it's Foma. Rodinal, Paranol-S, they all do well. I've had good results with Clayton F76 too (Arista Premium). In fact, can't think of any developer that hasn't done a satisfactory job with this film.

[notes]

so since this works for me, I went with their times for the new film, in the hope they were closer to my settings. I use a Spot Meter and it always gives me different exposures to built in meters when I average my high and low numbers. About the only meter that was ever close is my M6 that literally sits idle now.
I never got around to them yesterday but chemicals are cooling down as I tap this into the system…
