Hi!
I've just returned from a trip to morocco on which i also used some fp4+ pushed to 250 ASA.

My question is, do you know how to develop it? I have rodinal as a developer, but i don't know the times/dillution for a pushed fp4+.

Thank you

Tim

The rated speed for FP4+ in Diafine is 250, the only time I shot it at that speed. Negs were pretty nice though.

Rodinal experts will flock to this thread soon :)
 
Ilford gives times for FP4+ in rodinal at 200ASA (1+25 13mins 1+50 20mins).

Have not tried them, but you can start from there.

I developed a couple of FP4+'s last week at 400ASA and 800ASA (in Rodinal 1+50) and am waiting to make some contact sheets. Both look ok as a neg, can't really tell until I print some though. You should be ok at 250, wait till someone who has actually done this replies, for more.
 
Dear Tim,

True ISO in DDX or Microphen is close to 200. Personally I'd add 50% to the standard time for the 1/3 stop push but that's probably more than most people would want. Try, obviously, with a test roll shot at home rather than the Moroccan stuff.

Rodinal will give you at best the ISO speed, so I'd be disinclined to use it for pushing.

Cheers,
R.
