These were mixed with water to make 1/2 gallon of A and B. Then the film was dunked in each one for a certain period of time and the results were very good. More control since the developer was not part of the entire solution. Mike Tatem reported doing 50 rolls or so in a 1/2 gallon. Really allowed for control of contrast. Bad news is T.E.C. in two part cans is no longer available. Only the liquid T.E.C. This developer is very simple and is a variation of the old Willi Beutler formula.
