I used to develop Kodak Technical Pan in Neofin Doku. The negs would be almost grain-free, pinsharp, albeit contrasty.
This developer seems to be hard to come by, these days, I can't find anyone selling it anymore...
I still have a couple of rolls 135/36, but will not thaw them before I know can get them developed properly, with much the same result.
Does anyone know if Neofin Doku still can be obtained, or does anyone know a good replacement?

Currently going through a roll of Tech Pan and plan to develop in Rodinal 1+150 (rating film at EI 16). It's the first time I've tried Tech Pan and from what I've read this should work OK.

I have used Tech Pan since it was known as SO 115 (Special Order 115). Most of the time I develop it in Delagi D8, rating it at 20 iso - but if you are dealing with a lower contrast subject (no direct sunlight, no specular high lights etc) I find that Rodilal 1:200 semi stand development for 120 min works well (one flip and turn of the tank at 60 min). Grain is very fine and sharpness amazing.
Leica MP. Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f2.0 collapsible, Tech Pan @ 80 iso, Rodinal, 1:200 for 120 min.
You might want to bracket with this combination, open up an extra stop to see what the effect is.
Any bright spots create "halation" - bright edges or "drag".

Photographers Formulary makes a developer called TD-3 which is made for Technical Pan.
It can be rated at iso 50 while limiting the contrast. It has worked well for me.

It's been a while, but with Tech Pan for home slit for Minox 8x11, I used to use cold C-41 developer ( then B&W stop, fix )

Rollei Low Contrast/ Film Low Gamma (CG), Caffenol, POTA, Delagi, Agfa 14, T/O XDR-4, TDLC-101, -102, -103, Neofin Doku (available in Europe) , ATP-DC A/B, Adotech II where ATP-DC especially made by SPUR for the Rollei/Agfa Gevaert ATP-1,1 micro film and Adotech II for the CMS20 micro film, also from Agfa Gevaert.
Just doing some tests with TDLC-103, interesting because there is no bromide and phenidone used for it which can cause bromide drag easily on micro films.
In the past I have used RLC and ATP-DC for Tech Pan and ATP1,1 film.

Thank you all. @Fotohuis - do you know a webstore that is stocking Tetenal Deofin Doku - it seems Tetenal has discontinued this developer, but you are sure it can be obtained?

First I would inform at Tetenal in Norderstedt if they really have discontinued this product.
Alternative I can offer you ATP-DC A/B, Rollei Low Contrast or TDLC-103 from my web shop, depending if you are in Europe, otherwise it is an ending story.
Unfortunately I am not doing any business with Tetenal. But Maco Direct, Moersch Fotochemie, Fotoimpex, Brenner Foto all in Germany do.

In the last part the data for Kodak TP and Tetenal Neofin Doku.
http://www.tetenal.de/index_c.htm?AKT=01020020001000100030&L=DE
Only Dokumol is available from Tetenal. Tetenal Neofin Doku seems to be terminated.
S/W-Spezial- und Dokumentenentwickler
B&W Special- and documents developer.
Only with Tetenal Neofin Doku you could get a regular G=0,55 with Kodak TP and other document films.
Which means you have to make a choice of above mentioned document developers.
