Old developer formulas

tjaded · Jan 7, 2010

Hi all--
I just found a photography book from 1945 with some formulas for the following developers:

Agfa 17
Edwal 10
DuPont ND2
Kodak D76
Kodak D23
Champlin 16
Edwal 20
Focal Super Fine
Kodak DK20
MCM 100
DR. Sease
Seyewetz
Fink-Roselieve X.33

I'm attaching pdfs of the 4 pages of the book....hopefully this information will be useful to some here.

Agfa 17 is misnamed it's Agfa Ansco 17 the same formula is actually Agfa (Orwo) 44.

That's the one! It's been on the shelf for years. For some reason, it called out to me earlier this evening...

ID-68 is Microphen

Original Promicrol has been published but can't be made, the dev agent went out of production, it was also used in Atomal

All the published FX series inc FX18 are online on various sites. DK50 is/was Kodaks version of the Wellington & Ward Buffered Borax formula, D25 is D23 with 15gms of Sodium metabisulphite
