I just had to push a roll of fortepan 400 to 1600. Anyone have
experience doing this with decent results? Hoping not to have to use
rodinal on this as I am not a huge fan of extreme grain.

I will take a guess, and Rodinal was the only film on the Massive
Developer Chart that shows times for a one stop push. Microphen, and
Ilfotec-DDX, tend to work well with several different films for push
processing. I would suggest starting with one of those, and try starting
with similar dilutions and times as for a few other off brand ISO 400
films. Figure something out, and you have some data to add to the MDC.

Ciao!
