Very interesting to read the trade-offs you mention when using different developers.
I didn't know that!
At first, I don't intend to print directly. Actually, I don't print directly, but have it
scanned. Eventually, I should have a scanner and hopefully a enlarger. I may
push a 400 ISO film from time to time. and then, if I have it, I'll use some microphen
to develop it. And, when using slower speeds like 100/125 ISO, and shooting at box speed,
I may use some perceptol, if I have some, just in cases in which I want to keep a
negative for a very large enlargement. However, with your comment, it seems to me
that I'll covered for most situations using ID-11.
I took once a photo course, that I was not entirely happy with. The thing I found
exciting the most of that course was to be able to learn how to make a B&W developer
from scratch. Unfortunately, I lost the instructions. I will do an internet search for
microphen. It will be interesting to do my own developer again. And yes, it lasted
a long time, and not only that, as I was amazed to see that with one quart, one was
able to develop about thirty rolls during a five to six months period.
Thank you again, kind regards!
