The Darkroom Cookbook 5th Edition

[Ian Grant]

Interestingly Iflord ID-3 is listed under Divided Developers in the latest edition whereas in the 3rd eidtion is was presented as a single bath low-contrast developer for panchromatic film. Does anyone have experience using ID-3 as a divided (two bath) developer?

Ilford published ID-3 in two forms, as a single solution, and as a two part developer, The two part just separates the Carbonate into Part B which greatly improves keeping properties. In use, once dilute/mixed, there is no difference at all.

In the DCB 3 & 4 ID-3 is listed as a Soft Working developer. It's a developer I usually have on the shelf in the 2 part form, for two bath print development. It is not a Divided developer.

Kodak D165 is virtually identical to ID-3 both are film and paper developers.

I have all the "cookbooks" and each edition has new content, about 25% depending on edition, and corrections for the rare error or typo from previous editions, the First Edition was pretty close to the Morgan and Morgan Darkroom Jokebooks, but Mr. Anchell has gone back to original sources in all subsequent editions. It also supports the tremendous amount of work that Steve has done over the years. It's also fun to look at the author photo on the cover and reassure myself that I am not the only photographer getting older (sorry). My Fifth Ed. is supposed to ship this month after several hiccups and I look forward to reading it cover to cover.

I don't dispute any of that. I was trying to indicate that the major competition the new edition has is not only the previous editions of the book but also the vast repository of (unvetted) information available online. I'm glad the new book covers new material and broadens its audience.

Hi Ian,

This is a case where the developer is divided (into two parts) rather than the development being divided (into two steps) and hence the confusion.

Thank you! I should have been more specific in mentioning European Union market, since I believe purchasing from Irelend would result in taxes I want to avoid.

Ireland is in the EU. Anyway, in many EU countries (I do not know about Portugal), books are exempt from VAT.

My copy came from the UK (outside the EU) but I did not have to pay VAT on import.

Just order from the Routledge link which offers 20% discount at present.

Just got my copy today.

It is substantially thicker than previous editions and quite heavy!

Look forward to reading it.

It does need to pay taxes here. So I will wait for Amazon or another place within EU to avoid the extra taxes

Ordered (and already shipped) from Amazon UK. Let's see when it will arrive, it's a bit complicated to get to the other end of Europe

DIY ECN-2 chemicals, and how to use them for C-41 and E6 films (in addition to the obvious use case with Vision3 stocks).

Pretty much any bookstore should be able to get it, just search for it by ISBN. I ordered mine at Donner in Rotterdam (NL).

Was it also a cookbook?
Something like:

 

[payral]

Not even, worse than that.

 

[lamerko]

Oh... I hope everything is okay with my order, because shipping to Bulgaria is a bit complicated, and the options for returning a damaged or wrong item are very few and very expensive...

 

[payral]

Finalement le 2e envoi est le bon et il est arrivé ce matin, dans un emballage toujours aussi merdique, ouvert à une extrémité sans sans frais cette fois.

In the end, the 2nd shipment was the right one and arrived this morning, still in the same crappy packaging, opened at one end, this time without charge.

 

[lamerko]

My order is fine too
