I still have one roll of Tech Pan in my bag. I have 5 bottles of Tecnidol, though. After I have developed my last roll of TP, what can I do with the 4 remaining bottles of developer ? Is anyone interested in having them ? Can I use them for another film ?

George, I've got the opposite problem. I just bought a bunch of TP sheet film and friends are giving me their roll film stock. I haven't used the film in some time, but I like its high contrast and red shift and I'm looking at various developer options. No I don't want your Tecnidol, but rather some developer that I can mix that will give me the control I'm looking for.

Dear George,

I have used Technidol diluted 1:2 on ortho-litho film and development by inspection. The results were not horrible but still more contrast than I'd like. The next time I am going to try 1:4. Just for fun as I have lots of Technidol and orth-litho film is cheap.

If you have any Konica 750 IR film left it does a quite nice job on that, helps keep the highlights from blocking.

Good Evening, George,

I'd be glad to take the stuff off your hands, but shipping from Greece wouldn't be very practical. I suggest that you keep the stuff. The next time you have some night shots or other very high-contrast subject material, try the Technidol to tame the contrast. I know from experience that it works great with T-Max 100, and I imagine that it would do well with various other films as well.

I am afraid that I don't have any Konica IR, and I don't use Tmax. Is Kodalith still produced ? It would be fun to use, I guess... If it's not, I might try it with PanF and contrasty subjects... Since I intend to start a project involving night shots in the following months, it might prove handy (but not enough !!!!)...
