Actually I did several tests and the answer is in the negative being too dense, I shot following the exposure meter measurement, I didn't even compensate for the yellow filter correction, I will do other shooting tests, I also noticed that the Foma paper brings out fewer deep blacks, now I will...

Here are some of my works, I would like to point out that I am a teacher and that I do this as a hobby.

I am a street artist, a minutero photographer, for those who do not know this practice go and see it here ... I use a minutera camera in the square where I deliver the portraits in about 15 minutes, that is, I have a camera with an attached darkroom together, I can't see what happens inside, I...

However, in the DS14-15 recipe there is metol, I wouldn't want to get my hands inside it, for a question of sensitivity in finding the right part of the sensitive paper side I don't use gloves, so I touch the paper when I remove it from the trays and therefore I also touch the developer liquid....

Good morning to all the group, I am very interested in this thread as minutera photography, I make negatives already on paper, almost everyone uses Dektol, it has beautiful deep blacks but it also has hydroquinone, since we put our hands in the developing tanks I would like to use an eco...

Yes @koraks , perhaps I have not explained myself well ..., the water I use to dilute the stock solution has a pH of 7.4 a fixed residue of 24.7 mg / l so very few dissolved salts, in fact it has 1.3 ° of hardness (13 mg / of CaCO3) almost nil, I would like @Donald Qualls to explain to me how to...

Thank you very much for the answer and the recipe, in which dilution do you use it? In your opinion, using it for multigrade polythene papers (Ilford RC Deluxe) how long in immersion in the tray? Today I use the appearance time and I multiply it by the factor 10 and I get the total development...

ok, quindi sarebbe meglio se continuassi ad usare il dektol..., l'acqua di diluizione della D72 ha 3 gradi di durezza francese, è la stessa che uso con il dektol è un'acqua per uso alimentare quindi priva di metalli che può interferire, forse dovrei provare a fare una prova per trovare il nuovo...

I resume this discussion because today I used for the first time for the development of my prints the D72 that I prepared according to the classic recipe found on the forum and then used diluted 1: 2, compared to the dektol that I normally used in the same dilution. of longer appearance and with...
