It is not my developer of choice, but it is amazing in its ease of use and its compensating nature. (I tend to like higher accutance developers) I would not have added longevity to that record though. This weekend, I had a roll that I forgot to put in my main batch and rather than mix up more chemistry, I noticed some dusty Part A and Part B bottles on the back of my shelf. The roll was not really important so I gave it a shot.

Part A was no longer clear but was yellow - consistent with metol oxidation from being in a solution of water. The result was a soft development - perhaps -.3 density overall. But still very printable - the punchline? It had been on the shelf for 18 months. I don't recommend this as a great idea, but in a pinch, split D-23 never fails to exceed expectations. (needless to say - it got pitched after this little experiment)
