Gold Toner

[David Lingham]

Has anyone used Moersch MT6 Gold Toner, as sold by Retro it comes in 2 versions, a one litre that includes a replenisher and a two litre powder version that you mix yourself. Both appear to be a lot more expensive than either Fotospeed and Tetenal. I like the effect Gold toner gives, but use it sparingly. Is the Moersch product more cost effective even at the (much) higher price? and how effective is the replenisher?

The MT6 is the Walter Nelson Gold Toner - http://www.moersch-photochemie.de/index_e.php

It has different characteristics to the standard Gold Toners

If you mix it up yourself there is quite a complicated reciepe to precisely follow - Wolfgang warns that it is tricky to do

I have not used it or the pre-mixed stuff

I have some MT10 and intend to compare it to the Fotospeed product at some point in the near future
