Beutler GD

[Tom A]

This is a variant of Beutler, I made for Rollei Superpan 200 to get gritty and grainy pictures, therefore GD - Grain Developer.
It will work with other filmes too

A
10 g Metol
50 g Sodium Sulfite
Water to make 1000ml

B
43 g Potassium Carbonate
6.0 g Sodium Hydroxide
Water to make 1000ml

Mix the two stock solutions. Be careful when you mix the Sodium Hydroxide into the cold water.

Working solution: 50ml A + 50 ml B + 400 ml Water
Suggested develope time for Rollei Superpan 200 - 18m00s @ 20 degree Celcius
Agitation: Constant the first 30 sec. then 10 sec., every minute the first 3 minutes thereafter 10sec. every 3rd minute.

Trisodiumphosphate,TSP, should work well. An off the shelf chemical of high ph. Perhaps it alone. Dan

To get gritty and grainy pictures

Why?

[Ian Grant]

For the same reason Crawley came up with FX-16, sometimes people want a harsh gritty grainy image for effect.

Exactly my reason to make this variant of Beutler.
