whoisusingd23what formula andwhat process,please?

[Michael R 1974]

Hmm...these questions are suspicious. First, print developers with film. Now this one. Surely you know enough about processing with D23 . I'm curious.

I use D-23 quite a bit. Especially in the Summer as it is relatively insensitve to temperature....
What formula? Is that a trick question? There is only one published formula.

Metol: 7.5g
Sodium Sulfite: 100g
water to make 1liter.


teaspoons:
Metol: 2 teaspoons
Sodium Sulfite: 4 Tablespoons
water to make 1 quart


Sometimes I'll reduce the Metol to 5g and add 4 grams of Borax....but, that's not D-23 any more.


oh, process:

Six sheets of 4x5 sheet film in a Jobo 3006. About ten to twelve minutes of continuous rotation on a motor base that does not reverse and I don't bother to reverse the drum either. No need.

I use D23 Standard formula undiluted (Stock) and love the results it's my second most often used developer after Rodinal.

I've used it with good results following the advice of guys much more experienced than I from this website:

http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/DD-23/dd-23.html

it uses a two-solution formula, the classic chemistry first followed by a kodalk solution (10 gr of sodium metaborate) to work on the shadows. The replenisher highlighted here (http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/De.../formulas.html) uses 20 g of Kodalk instead. I've used only 10 gr.

Hope this helps.

Dear Ralph,
what are you trying? Which answers come from Apug if you send a enigmatig question in?

[Ryuji]

Let D-23 die.

Film developers that don't deliver box rated speed need to offer something extraordinary. D-23 does not.

[Jerevan]

Let D-23 die.

Oh man. I think you need a hug.

[Ryuji]

I'll take a hug as long as the body is free of Metol.
