Hi,
This week I shoot my first 8x10 sheet film. I am going to shoot Arista EDU Ultra 400 and develop it with Rodinal. Any thoughts on what speed I should shoot it at and what dilution and time I should use to develop it at. I know photographers often shoot Tri-X and HP-5 at one or one and half stops slower than box speed. Would that be also true of Arista EDU Ultra 400? The instructions suggest 1:25 at 5:30 for box speed and digital truth does not offer any info on pulling. Also, my guess is that I don't have to worry about grain because I am shooting 8x10 sheet film so a 1:50 dilution would not be such a bad choice.
At any rate I would be interested in knowing what other people do. I would love to know what other people have been successful with when using this combination.
