D-23 or D-76

[Jay DeFehr]

Jay - FACT: Kodak 76 needs time to reach equilibrium. Freshly mixed stock behaves differently from product a week to several months old. FACT. I've done hundereds of
contrast masks with this developer and know exactly the outcome, and its an appreciable distinction. You standardize one way or the other.

Drew,

FACT. Neither of your facts support your contention about buffering in alternative formulations of D-76 compared to the commercial product.

OPINION. Your style of discussion is unnecessarily aggressive and absolutist.
