    Fomalux SP111

    Hi,
    I've got some Fomalux SP111 on the way anybody got a favourite developer for this paper? I mix my own chemicals and I'd rather not have to run around looking for pre mixed stuff.
    Thanks,
    Pete.

    Thanks for that. Any thoughts on Ansco 113?

    It's been a while since I used it last, I remember being quite content with the combination of dektol and selectol soft. But those amidol-based developers sound all very interesting, I'll have to give it a go.
    Website of sorts, as well as flickr thing.

    ID-78, I make it up as a concentrate replacing the Sodium Carbonate with Potassium Carbonate and a small amount of Sodium Hydroxide.

    My experience is that Fomalux is about a stop faster than Lodima. I use a combination of Moersch Separol Soft and PF130 varying the time in each depending on the negative.
