    Re: replacement for tetenal neofinBlue

    Last version of tfdc mentions its use in hc110 and ddx and works as a sequestering agent, yes, that being no secret, bit it seems that it has a convenient effect in avoiding silver replating again in the emulsion avoiding phisical development.
    The level that this mechanism is important on a non solvent high acutance developer maybe marginal...

    If I was seeking to make a [type] of phiyscal developer for film would this be practical ...?? by adding P.Ioded and table salt -or magnisium salt ??

    FX-39 is an MQ-carbonate developer, likely an “evolution” of the PQ FX-37.

    The RED has been discontinued years ago. It was formulated for faster films (above ISO 200).

    Fx1 has this homeopatic amount of iodide that Crawley said to be paramount to the acutance mechanism...

    Never heard of magnesium but if you add sodium cloride to some developers you increase fine grain effect.... Microdol seems to work that way. I cannot confirm that this could work on all developers. But i would try .... Maybe rodinal or fx2...

    One of the 2 neofins was catechol based the other was close to beutler metol formula
