Got some agfa viradon off ebay
I recently got a new unopened bottle of viradon with the box and instructions off ebay
It cost me £18 with free postage,parcelforce wont deliver chemicals so it cost a bit more for the postage The seller threw a free unopened 1litre sachet of speedibrews prussian blue toner in so will give that a go as well No one even bidded on the viradon Paddy |

Lucky boy!
I really liked Viradon. Easy to use, and controllable by dilution. Don't know why it went away, if anybody knows? |

Tony Worobiec devotes a chapter to it in his book Toning and Handcolouring and the prints all look very good especially the one of the car and the cafe.
The book is worth purchasing if you can. Not as extensive or scientific as Tim Rudman's Toning book but a very practical primer P.S. Let us know how smelly it is when you get around to using it and shows us a print. Thanks Mike |

This is the new viradon (without selinium) so it will stink like the last bottle, will have to tone outdoors this time I have posted a kodak t8 post in the chemical section with a link on where to get some potassium sulphide to make your own brown toner But i seen this on ebay and as you know "resistance is futile" Paddy |

Have I got this right? How smelly is it at the "usual" dilutions? Is it so bad that outdoors is the only place? Indoors in the darkroom with the windows open would not be acceptable to the nose and lungs? Thanks Mike |

Maco / Rollei offered Viradon under their own brand until 2011. Moersch has several polysulfide toners in their portfolio. I have tried their MT4 Siena which is very similar to the original Agfa viradon toner (selenium + polysulfide).
