    Phenidone for Metol, especially with WD2H+

    I read that phenidone may be substituted (at 1/10th) for metol. I'm especially curious about this for WD2H+? What differences might I expect from this substitution?

    Thank you all.

    Quick Answer:

    Eric, in that Formula (WD2H+)...
    I really doubt, that you would notice any difference. It is already quite 'High Contrast'.

    You 'might' get a very small increase in Film Speed... But, I honestly think, that that is about it.
    *However, you might want to research the 'Superadditivity' of Phenidone/Pyrogallol Developers (M. Levy).

    Thank-you! -Tim.
