Looking for insight.

I'm shooting a role of Rollei Infrared 400. I can't seem to find a development chart that includes my developer, (arista premium). I don't want to purchase another developer if I can get away with it. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I would call Freestyle Los Angeles 800-292-6137

It's made for Freestyle by Clayton, and I think it is repackaged Clayton F-76 plus. My understanding is that it's intended to behave like D-76, except that Clayton uses phenidone instead of metol.

Freestyle's chart includes that combination:

I did. I ordered some R-09. Thanks for the advice. Thoughts on stand development?

Interesting. I have never used D-76. I'll read up on it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the link. Gonna check it out tonight. Unfortunately I got impatient and ordered some Rodinal but that's ok. I've been on a mission to try new things. Film, devs, and papers, etc. Cheers.
