I don't think you can buy chemistry only chemicals with which you perform chemistry.

It niggles me, how about you.

Chemicals are the thing, chemistry is what happens. Therefore you buy chemicals and when you do something photographic with it chemistry happens. So why do most catalogues/web sites have a chemistry section not chemicals?

Don't know the answer though.

Are you saying you don't know where to buy chemicals? If you are, try Silverprint...:D

Just spent the day going to/from and working inside a power station, very hot (bad), not allowed to photograph the insides (worse). Three good outcomes, 1. My new design worked a treat and 2. Got home early and 3. I have a bottle of pear cider in front of me, never had it before, rather good after a hot day.

That's more my kind of chemistry!

OTH, Chemistry is what you do with the chemicals. What I want to know is how to work magic with the chemistry!
