No, I am not sure that it is FP4+. Freesytle's literature states that it is
"made by one of the world's foremost manufacturers in England"; of which I
know only one - Ilford. All the processing information I have found (from
Anchell, Troop, the Digitaltruth website, ect...) states that Arista is
commonly assumed to be repackaged Ilford films and that the development
times/dilutions are the same as the Ilford version. I could not find any
published curves or other data on any Arista Films. The idea that it might
be limited in its spectral sensitivity is very interesting and worth looking
into though I do not have the knowledge or equipment to make a scientific
test of that magnitude.
