Yup. It's Ortho+ in smaller formats, plus a few other things. Awesome.

The site you posted still doesn't say, but is this about the release of Ortho+ in roll film? I picked some up. This weekend may be a good time to try it out. I'll have to see if they released anything else interesting.

. All but DK-50 and DK-60a are still made, but I have the raw chemicals for them.

I try not to be too demonstrative about Clayton Products when making comments in these formats but; you mention Clayton Developer, F 76+, as one you might try. I will tell you that, without exception, it has the versitility to meet any condition or application you would require. We recommend it for...

What format are you using? Any developer will give "flat" negatives if the film is developer for too short a time for that combination. Microphen, Ethol UFG, D-76 are good choices. Ilford makes a nice variety of powdered and liquid developers: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/products/productty...

I've always mixed my own. I use PMK primarily for large format, and occasionally for medium format.

I've been threatening to do this for a few years, but I've finally decided to stop using PMK Pyro. I've had too many negatives ruined. I want to switch to another developer as my mainstay. I've used 510 Pyro, Pyrocat HD, Xtol, D76, F76+, HC-110, Ilfotec HC, Rodinal, Formulary 777, and Edwal 12 (plus...

I'll make some E-72 paper developer to test it. I'm a bit perplexed, tough, because POTA only has 2 chemicals plus water at 125 degrees F.

I'm about to give Edwal 12 a try (made by Photographers' Formulary). I've heard that this developer also needs a little ripening. Is that true?

Speedibrews' web site states that it no longer does mail order. I wouldn't know where to get it. I can get Microphen here in the States. Silverprint in the UK sell Celer-Stellar. http://www.silverprint.co.uk/ProductByGroup.asp?PrGrp=5016 It is probably worth sending an email to Speedibrews first fo...

I think I have a book written by him about night photography. I'm not at home, so I can't be sure it's him, but I've seen some to the shots before.

I was using Tri-X 320, but my usual night film is HP5

I wanted to use POTA for a night scene where there was too little available light. There were lights in windows and street lights, but not enough. I shot 6 sheets. Two were done with PMK, 1 with Ilfotec-HC 1:31, and one stand developed with a diluted Ilfotec-HC. None worked. I got lovely highlights,...

Hi all, I was attempting to develop a negative with POTA, which I mixed from chemicals on my shelf. It only has 2 ingredients: Sodium Sulfite and Phenidone. The Film Developing Cookbook says that it should have an orange color due to the oxidation of the Phenidone. My first batch was clear, so I tho...
