    We switched to microphen from d76 at photography course

    I have used Microphen on and off for the last 50 years and it is really good with some films like Pan F+ for box speed and printable contrast, Hp5+ for ei 800 and Acros for the same reason as Pan F +.

    Looking for the perfect Nikon portrait lens

    I have always liked the 85mm 1.8 H. I had a brief time with the 85 f2.0 and didn't like it and went back to the 85 1.8. I also like the 105mm 2.5 early version too. Outdoors the 135mm 2.8Q was good.

    Alter id68 (microphen) to produce less contrast??

    Once you start adding or subtracting from the formula you will not have ID-68. The smart people at Ilford spent a lot of time and effort into getting the developers, phenidone and hydroquinone in balance and the borax to boric acid ratio right to keep the ph stable and at a point for good...

    If you reduce your development time 15-20% and shoot at box speed you may be spot on.

    Dektol question

    I have been mixing my own paper developers for about 20 plus years now and haven't had a bad batch yet. Most of the individual reagents last decades if caped and kept in the dark like us.

    My oh my what happened to Foma 400?

    Thank you for the update, and I hope you are feeling better. I have had that problem with Ilford Pan F. I just bought some Fomapan 400 this last month and have been trying to see what it likes and does not like for developer. So far ID-68 has been the best. 320 E.I. at 9 min at 20c/68f. Looks...

    My oh my what happened to Foma 400?

    I downloaded that from Foma yesterday and mixed up some ID-68 and am going to go out today and see what I get. I am also going to test Pan-F and HP5 at the same time.

    Photofinish Cleaner Discontinued? Alternatives?

    I have used it on everything in the darkroom including my Jobo and it has worked very well. If Coke was less expensive and didn't leave a sticky residue behind I would switch to it. The previous owner of my motor home parked it where his lawn sprinklers sprayed the windshield and when I bought...

    Photofinish Cleaner Discontinued? Alternatives?

    I don't know what the OP is after but, here is a link to what I use to clean the sink and all of my glass, plastic and stainless with. It is used in the dairy industry to clean the milkstone from the tanks and lines and is food safe, USF rated and doesn't leave a residue. I live in a very hard...
