[Leica] Tri-X/D-23

["Michael Darnton" <mdarnton@hotmail.com>]

     He probably wants to know where the D-23 is in your recipe. :-) My 
current opinion (I'm just getting back into it again, so everything's 
subject to change) is 72 degrees, 8 minutes. My D-23 formula is 2 teaspoons 
of Elon, 4 tablespoons of Sodium Sulfite, and 1 quart of water. I used to 
use the two-bath version, with borax as the second bath, but recently 
decided all that does is add base fog :-(
