I am just getting back into medium format photography after purchasing a Mamiya RB67 Pro S on apug. I have ordered some Fuji acros (sounded like a good film to try) and have a chance to buy some Ifotec HC at a great price. Is this a good combo or would another developer be better. I will mainly be involved in landscape photography using a tripod. In the past I liked to work with Rodinal and some of the slower agfa films. I prefer a sharp and finely detailed print with good tonal range. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Fuji Acros is good. Ilfotec HC is good. You should have no problem with that combo.
 
Arcos is outstanding for that application because it's reciprocity failure only starts at 2 minutes. Try developing it in Pyrocat developer, very fine details result and the tones are a feast!
