Seems to be a mysterious brew that was used at several news places, among them Magnum in N.Y. http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Harvey/harvey.html Looks interesting. Does anyone here use a developer that is not discarded after one use, but replenished or this something that is only viable if you are processing large amounts of film. Is there an advantage to a 'ripened' solution? feli On Wed, 2004-03-24 at 13:45, Sam wrote: > I've not encountered the problem.
