I've been busy with kids the last 12 years, and I can't seem to find a foolproof way to develop the 120 Rollei ATP I have squirreled away. It's really bumming me out that there's no more dedicated developer. I'm at the point where I'm willing to mix anything I'm able to buy legally for a homebrew. Or maybe off someone on apug. I really enjoyed shooting it. Willing to sacrifice a roll for free testing. I don't think I have any 35mm though.

I've read about caffenol LC, but I was hoping there was more of a pro alternative with more consistent results.

Very infrequent agitation with dilute Rodinal might be worth a try, I've seen it work with Kodak's Technical Pan and several other high contrast technical films.

POTA is about 12-20 minutes, I think, depending what you shot and what speed. Requires testing, I think. I haven't used it in a few years.

I'm using Pyrocat HDC for 14 minutes with continuous agitation in a Jobo. 2ml of the glycol solution to 1.5g sodium carbonate in 200ml water. For inversion, you'd need to go with more, obviously. You'd need to test.

Honestly, I wish I could play around with some of this film, It looks really interesting. I’m currently playing around with an extremely low contrast film developer called HW control, I bet it would work really well with this film.
