Hi, I normally use Ilford products. Now I want to try Tetenal Neofin Rot, but I do not have a list for the developement times. I want to develop the film Ilford FP4 (125). What is the correct time to get good contrast and good grain?

Have a look a Tetenals webpage. There you'll their collection of development times for all their developer and most films. The data sheet number is A075 for FP4 in Neofin Red/Rot. I looked up the pdf file on my harddrive, they give you a beta versus time graph. So for a beta of 0.55 it is about 5 mins with 3 sec agaition, the 1 min agaition will hardly give you 0.55 at 15 mins. Usually they recommend certain times but not on this sheet, so maybe Neofin Red and FP4 isn't the best combination. So have a look at their webpages...
