Shot my first ATP-V1 today and want to see how it works out in HC110. Can't find any clues on development time though.
I developed the Kodak TP in the HC110 for 5 minutes with satisfactoring results (to me) and am wondering if I could keep the same time for the ATP (treated as a 40 asa film)??
Also read no stop between developer and fixer...any advice on why or why not?
Thanx in advance!!

Also perhaps any idea how long to develop the Kodak TP in the Rollei RLC? Keep the time that's recommended for the ATP V1 which is 6 minutes..?

Well nevermind...I already tried it out

First batch were the ATP and Kodak TP for 6 minutes in Rollei RLC, no stop used.
Rollei came out perfectly fine though next time I will treat them as a 32 instead of the 40 now, just to see what difference it would make. It looks really contrasty but with a smooth gradiency if that makes sense. Very powerful negs, maybe a tinytiny tad overdeveloped when looking at the numbering.

Now, the TechPan is a different story. It so needed a longer development. So that experience kind of failed although I know what to change in the future, but I'm not sure if that's worth it as I don't have that many films left.
I'll eat my loss this time and develop it or again in the HC110 or in the Technidol of which I still have one package.

Second batch were the ATP and Kodak TP for 5 minutes in the HC110.
For the ATP it was, as I expected looking at the previous results, a tad overdeveloped. Not too shabby but I lost detail in the highlights. Will try a more dilluted HC110 next time as a shorter time will probably lead to a too short time..? <---- merely a guess...?

The TP actually looked really soft compared to the ATP haha! But really nice. Very contrasty but very detailed and still subtle. Will have to give them a closer look tomorrow for a second opinion. Have to see the contact prints and scans tomorrow and search for a suitable image for printing.
Anyways a startling evening with lots of different results. Overall I'm very pleased and surprised by the ATP so far. I think the Tri-X will soon be out of my stock and I will keep on experimenting with these wonderful films

That was about it for now I guess...

Contrastique,

ATP vs. TP side-by-side comparisons, wow!
Looking forward to seeing the results.
