John, just a thought here - I recall reading in Barry Thornton's Edge of Darkness that he worked on improving Beutler's formula, and came up with his own two-bath version. Might be worth a look to see if that's worth trying. He came up with three recipes for the B bath, I think.... for normal-, high-, and low-contrast scenes.

Good one Jonathon. Thanks for posting that.
Also, I made a mistake in my previous post: Thornton was referring to Stoekler's two-bath developer, not Beutler's. Although similar in ingredients, there are significant differences.

This will be my 1st sortie into making my own brew so I will stick to something simple.
What has surprised me is the price of Metol - is it mixed with gold dust. The other two are peanuts in comparison. I have found 3 suppliers of raw chemicals, Firstcall. Silverprint and Process Supplies The cheapest is a toss up between Firstcall and Process supplies. Last edited by John King; 22nd February 2022 at 10:25 PM. |

Yeah, Metol is pricey, but you'd only use 5 to 10 grams per batch, so the price averaged over the number of films you can develop with it is still pretty reasonable I think. I use it to mix up homebrew Perceptol and D76 which use only 5g or so per batch, so a 100g purchase lasts a long time.

Bob, your post has prompted a related question about making alterations to posts already posted
On FADU as far as I know once you hit the reply button the die is cast. The sender can do nothing about editing it afterwards If I am right then I take it that adding a self editing function is expensive or in our system may even be currently impossible? Thanks Mike |

I think the problem with making posts indefinitely editable is that people may have already replied and then the original may be changed, potentially making the replies no longer relevant or otherwise moving the goal posts. If a post needs editing after the 30 minutes has elapsed, drop me a line and I will be happy to correct any errors. Also, the edits will not show up as a New Post so are likely to be missed by frequent visitors. Cheers, Bob. Last edited by Bob; 23rd February 2022 at 12:31 PM. |
