I guess so. They also say that their "Bergger One monoboth" is "Made in France in-house", so I guess those two developers they make themselves.


Their Berspeed, PMK, Superfine film developers & paper developers all say "made in germany for the Bergger company"

This is good news, Studional is my favourite developer, and this is cheaper than the Compard version.

I must add that many people are put off by the short development times when using the standard dilution of 1:15. I always use Studional at 1:30 and as a starting point I will double the suggested development time for a particular film. After a couple of test rolls and by decreasing or increasing the development time, I can easily work out a good standard. Studional has a reasonably good shelf life also.

Thanks for sharing. How does this developer broadly compare to Rodinal and HC110?

Rodinal Special: It's Not Rodinal But Is It Special?

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone had any experience or opinions on Rodinal Special (a.k.a. Studional)? I've seen a supply of it and I'm wondering if it's worth picking up a bottle or two. Seems interesting enough, although I understand it has very little in common with standard Rodinal.

screw Berger; they don't make anything ever..I don't believe anything they say and they discontinue products and or they are never available. why bother with a company like this. support Kodak lford or adox.
