Edwal FG7 discontinued?

Ah poo!

I asked Photographer's Formulary a couple of years ago if they had anything similar and they recommended their TFX-2 developer.

FG7 to my knowledge is not discontinued. It is distributed by Omega Brandess, which bought the Edwal line, formulas and name rights from the previous owner BKA.

You should call Omega for the most local stocking dealers: 800-777-6634
Customer service or sales can help you.

Eh, the poster on APUG (see link above) says he got that it was in an email from an Edwal rep.

Maybe it isn't and the rep was smoking crack, or maybe the guy is lying. If someone finds out otherwise, post it here (I've never used it but, oddly enough, these comments would tempt me to try it IF it isn't discontinued.)

Roger,

Omega lists the 1 gallon size container only their web site (unless I missed a smaller size).

1 gallon of concentrate would make a whole lot of working solution.

Yep, at $118 for the gallon too. Doubt they'll sell much of it at that price. Maybe if enough folks like it they could split a gallon, but I'm not sure about being able to ship broken up smaller bottles of it. It would probably require folks in the same location.

Looks like they've bought up a lot of brands, including Acufine that makes Diafine, something I would sorely miss if it were to go away. Not that often I use it but when I do, nothing else is quite like it.
