    What about the new Bergger 400? http://bergger.com/bergger-pancro-400-plans-films.html?___store=bergger_en&___from_store=bergger_fr

    I bought some. Still in the freezer waiting to be tried.
  2. Re: Is contrast in two-bath developers controlled by the developer or the alkali?

    Very interesting responses, thank you.

  3. Is contrast in two-bath developers controlled by the developer or the alkali?

    I'll also add that it's important to use an accurate scale for this. A triple beam would be fine. But I'd avoid kitchen scales. There's a 20g mg scale from American weigh that I use that is fantastic...
