It's my turn...Harvey's 777

[jnantz]

Does anyone know if it's the same as what Photographer's Formulary offers? I was going to try this developer in the spring.

Thanks.

but is this the actual developer .. the same that bluegrass sold
or the guessed-recipe from the unblinkingeye article ?

a few years back i spoke with the person that used to mix+ship the developer
about the recipe, she said the unblinkingeye article " wasn't even close" ..

if they sold the recipe to the formulary that would be great ..

Great idea. However before it could happen a couple of things would need to take place.

First would be to bring this concept to the formulary. Second would be the willingness of Bluegrass to buy into the concept and find an incentive to get the original formula back in play.

If Bluegrass feels that there is no financial incentive to continue mixing or selling the formula then it could simply reside in limbo in an obscure company safe.

When I spoke to Bluegrass a while back I was of the impression that it was becoming increasingly challenging to acquire one or more of the formula's ingredients.

I wonder how PF can call their developer "Harvey's Defender 777"? I suppose they can call it anything they like if no one takes legal action to prevent them doing so, but I wonder how they justify using the name?

Gentleman, did any of you bother to contact Photographers formulary about the 777 first???

I've emailed and await their reply.

Thank you.

That's a man of senses. Please share your findings with us.

[Jay DeFehr]

Will do, Heinrich.

Very likely Photographer's Formulary has licensed the formula from Bluegrass. Otherwise there'd be a nasty little legal spat about it. Bluegrass will sell the developer in commercial quantities, while PF will sell it in small sizes.

[Jay DeFehr]

Or....it's a different formula, and Bluegrass doesn't own the rights to the name, in which case, no legal spat.

exactly !
