Any ideas concerning N-1, N, and N+1 development for:
4x5 sheet Arista Edu Ultra 100, shot at 100 ASA.

I use D-76 and am switching to HC110. For either or both of these developers (assuming 20C I trust) can anyone recommend:
- development times;
- dilutions; and
- agitation regimes
for N-1, Normal and N+1 development.

Also, is there maybe a better developer??
Do different chemical temperatures become important?
Should this film be shot at 50 ASA?

Look for information on the film that Arista Edu Ultra actually is and it might be easier to find. I believe that it is Fomapan.

It is Fomapan 100 (the rollfilm formats even say so on the edges now). The MDC isn't all that helpful---there are only a few times for any given developer, and most of them are for box speed; and anyway, this seems to be a film with which a pretty fair amount of personal testing is called for. A lot of people shoot it at 50 and use the times recommended for 100...
