Thanks Peter, I'll run some tests when I can.

This alleged `Perceptol` formula is known as "Edgar Hyman`s Microdol Substitute" and is featured in "Modern Photographic Processing" (Volume 1) by Grant Haist. Also mentioned is an agent that prevents dichroic fog although the actual component is not named in Kodak`s MSDS. Last edited by Ag-Bromide; 26th February 2009 at 07:14 PM. |

I have never seen the the Kodak equivalent of perceptol, Microdol-X, on sale anywhere in the UK. Why is that? Is it considered exactly the same or is there some other reason?

Rob Not sure if your question is purely academic curiosity but I see that MORCO still sell Technidol. This seems to have been designed for Kodak Tech Pan but as that is largely gone then presumably Technidol is good for other films where fine grain is the aim, otherwise why would MORCO bother?
Anyway just a thought Mike |

p.s. and more importantly why would kodak continue to make it. There must be demand for it.

Kodak Microdol-X is available from Retrophotographic to make 1 litre of stock solution. I didn`t see the U.S. Gallon size packages on their site.
I don`t see what Kodak Technidol which is a different type of developer has to do with this thread. |

It's always a dilemma when throwing things in. It can hinder a thread even when offered for the best of motives or it can spark responses that may be helpful. Equally in this case it may have failed on both counts and served only to puzzle or even annoy which was not my intention. Mike |

Yes and it`s very similar to Perceptol. The MSDS that I have for Microdol-X show the ingredients as Elon, Sodium Sulphite, Sodium Chloride and Diboron-Trioxide (anhydrous boric acid). This isn`t mentioned in the current MSDS. The grain might possibly be a bit finer with the Kodak developer.
I have a 5 litre size package in a tin can and a 1 litre size. I also have Perceptol, although my own personal favourite developer for general use is Kodak D-76. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQueri...q-locale=en_GB |
