Some questions about developers (A03 and A49)

[Marsopa]

Recently I've bought two developers (from Argenti): Calbe A49 and A03. The documentation is rather brief... If I'm not wrong A03 is a developer that can be used for different films simultaneously using the same development time, I've been reading and the only data for Kodak films is "6 to 8 min"... so, if I want to push (i.e. tri-x) I shouldn't change the time?

With respect to A49 I've got the same doubt... I've only listed a range of times for each film, without indication of the exposure index (I should assume that is box speed)...

Have you ever used one of those?, Do you have more detailed data?... I've searched the massive development chart and a49 is listed but not A03...


Thanks

A49 for all purposes, I just love it with 400iso (Tx,HP5 12mins30 1+1) But it's awesome with 100 iso aswell. Kinda like D76 but still different, you gotta try it.
A03 acts like microphen but I don't use it. Sorry I can't help.

A49 is wonderful, and Calbe A49 is identical to Adox ATM49 which may help with times. My FlickR is full of shots developed in ATM49, and I have listed dilutions and temperatures, but these are obviously specific to my working methods.
