Thank you for the news.
There is an article with formulas and graphs at unblinkingeye.
http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Harvey/harvey.html
And many opine that the formulas published by Mr. Buffaloe are incorrect, but since nobody but the producer has the actual recipe, nobody can tell with certainty.
Reading all that stuff led me to Morris Germain's finegrain which is 7g of metol, 70g of sulfite, 7g of paraphenylene diamine and 7g of glycin per liter of solution. I use this as my number one developer for all films..
How is Panthermic 777 from Bluegrass packaged these days? I'd buy some to keep, but if it's just in a plastic bag (as opposed to in a metal can) I wonder how long it will stay good, even with specific components perhaps sequestered into Part A, Part B, etc.
so i could mix a new gallon just to see if there are any degrading or change to the stored bags, i doubt there is.
I have never use the products from Bluegrass, yet I have read that they do have a good product. The problem that I am having with them is all the drama that surrounds them.
If they are close, why would they start up a batch of Harvey's 777, just because there are enough buyers. Because from what I have seen from surfing the net, is that there are a lot of buyers, but they are tired of this on again, off again affair with Bluegrass. They either make it or they do not.
Well that's all I have to say.

If you have used the 777 in the past and want to get more or, if you are curious and want to try for the first time, email lori@bluegrasspackaging.com and let her know how much you are interested in buying.
If enough is showing an interest it might speed up the availability.

The last batch i got from bluegrass a few years ago was in thin plastic bags. I don't see any color change but i don't know if anything has changed.
I am still working on a gallon i mixed about two and a half year ago but my replensiher gallon is getting low so i could mix a new gallon just to see if there are any degrading or change to the stored bags, i doubt there is.
I wouldn't expect to get a reply from Lori, as Greg is saying the 777 is probably such a small deal to Bluegrass that they are not going to waste much time on email responses until and if they deside to go forward with this.
I ise a fair amount of FX37 and it's my go to developer for Efke Aura and my secondary for tmax. It's fairly grainy with HP5, so Germain's for sure.Evan, which would you choose for a normal contrast scenic shot using HP5+ film - Germain's fine grain or FX37 and why? JW
Forgot to add that it will be 120 film in 6x6 format.
