I start a new post about this film.
I've tried my first roll, exposed at 25 ISO, taking pictures of
mountain landscape, with few snow and clouds on sky.
I've tried Delagi #8 developer, 15 mins at 20 degrees, exactly the
same used with Kodak TP film. The result is a quite weak negative,
completely different from TP one. So I can conclude, by now, that
Rollei ATP does not seem to be the subsitute of TP. I would like to
try with POTA developer, but after Delagi this seems a lost of time.
Looking for technical sheets of Rollei ATP I see another developer,
Docufine LC. From MSDS I find:
hydroquinone 3 %
sodium hydroxide 1 %
sodium carbonate 8 %
for a total amount of solids of 12 %
But at point no. 9 of MSDS it is written that the solids content is 23
%, very different from 12 % found before. So, where is the trick? Are
there non dangerous components that increase the solids amount but
essential for developer?
