I approve of ascorbic developers generally. They have excellent technical properties, low toxicity, and are environmentally very benign--even compared to other developers, most of which aren't so bad. In fact the only materials "crisis" I've had in recent years is that Tri-X is one of the few films that I think is not a partciularly good match to Xtol (although it's not bad)--I've actually considered switching films so I can use Xtol. It's a really good film developer. It deserves to be for the next 50 years what D-76 has been for the last 50 and more (D-76 was formulated in 1932, if memory serves). - --Mike
