Rollei ATP --- replacement for Technical Pan

Recommended Posts

Martin, I spent lots of time experimenting with different developers for Tech Pan, but was never able to completely whip the extreme contrast problem. In the end, the best developers turned out to be Kodak's Technidal or 2-part Diafine (see my recommendations on The Unblinking Eye massive developer list).<P>Is the Rollei film less contrasty?

The Rollei ATP-V1.1 is indeed less contrasty then the original Kodak Tech Pan film. The last one was even a problem with Rodinal 1+150 which is possible in the lower speed range with this ATP-V1.1 film.

 

Best overall in the lower speed is the RLC developer and in the higher speed (iso 25-40) the SPUR Technospeed, AKA Rollei ATP DC developer.

 

Here an example of the film in RLC (and SPUR Imagespeed), iso 20-25 is the max. you can get with RLC: http://gallery.fotohuisrovo.nl/thumbnails.php?album=13

 

 

The overall contrast is not too bad :)
