Anyone here ever worked with this film? I tried a couple of times I was told work, D-76 for 7 minutes, and Rodinol 1+100 for an hour. My D-76 is kinda old so honestly I wasn’t surprised by the thin negs. But the Rodinol, I wasn’t expecting that to be so thin… could my Rodinol be bad? Or is this film just that finicky?

Any help appreciated!
 
I am not familiar with Mikrat Ortho/FPP super positive, but if this is an ortho film, why are you developing in D76? Also, are you developing it by inspection?

Thus is a direct positive film, and times have been given for D96, D76, and Xtol on FPP’s site. Astrum gives a time for UP-5 at 7 minutes, but although I do know The ingredients I don’t have the chemistry.
