The following formula is said to be very similar to the discontinued Kodak Selectol Soft.

Distilled water (50°C) ................ 750 ml
Metol ................................. 6.0 g
Sodium sulfite (anhy) ................. 25.0 g
Sodium carbonate (mono) ............... 37.0 g
Potassium bromide ..................... 0.5 g
Distilled water to make ............... 1.0 l

Dilute 1+1 or 1+2 for softer images.

Gerald, the formula you give is Kodak Selectol that is different from Kodak Selectol Soft

 

[Ian Grant]

The is the correct formula for Selectol Soft which is is D165 and virtually identical to Ilford ID-3, and is a Metol only soft working developer.

The formula for Selectol is D52.

My post on Selectol Soft should have read Ansco/GAF 120 similar to Kodak Selectol Soft. I don't know how the missing characters got dropped. Sorry for the bad proof reading.
