Might save some of us from doing the same.<<<<<<<< Rick, I can't top Ted's story (thank goodness, touch wood, etc.) but I did once accidentally process some rolls of Ilford Delta 100 in Multigrade print developer. I had been doing lots of printing and just automatically grabbed that bottle and diluted it 1:9. I realized about half way through the processing when my eyes happened to rest on the offending concentrate bottle, so with a fluttering heart I extended the development by 50% and amazingly, I got away with it. The negatives were a bit thin and contrasty, but they printed up adequately for the 5x7 glosses that the job required, but I wouldn't recommend this particular film/developer combination. And needless to say, the client never heard about that one! Simon Stevens
