Default Bergger Berspeed.

I noticed this product on the Firstcall Photographic site.

http://www.firstcall-photographic.co...-1-litre/p6647

It a appears to be a developer of the Ilford Microphen type. For optimum results, the manufacturer recommends that the developer is diluted 1+1 and used at a temperature of 24*C/75*F. It is claimed to be suitable for conventional and T-Grain type films.

Based on experience with D-76, I reckon that their times would also make excellent starting times for use with a Jobo rotary processor and that the times are probably interchangeable for Ilford's own Microphen developer.

I currently use Bergger photo paper and must say I'm very impressed and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

It would surprise me indeed if the rest of their products were not of the same high standard.

I have used 100 ISO Bergger 120 film and found it good but no better than Ilford Delta 100, both in Rodinal. Bergger claim that it 'contains more silver'. What benefit should that confer?

The old 100 ISO Bergger film was re-badged Fortepan 100 was an old fashion emulsion and like the Fortepan 200 & 400 derived from the Kodak emulsions the factory was built to coat. The Hungarian communist party took over the former Kodak Ltd (UK) Hungarian subsidiary factory and coating lines after WWII and nationalised it.
