Yes and I like it very much. Unfortunately quite expensive so switched to X-Ray film (which is anyhow a pain to handle and to not to scratch the double-sided emulsion).
Pressing the shutter is the only easy thing
One at at a time in Cesco flat bottom trays/ Takes longer, but safer. Alternative is Jobo tube.
I suggest you also try the Regent Royal Hard Dot film available from B+H at about half the price of Arista. These are ortho litho films often repurposed as camera films. Slightly better qualilty than the Arista. I shoot them at ei2, and they are very sharp and high contrast, sometimes very good. Xray film today is about half the price of Regent Royal!
