SOLUTION B Water at 110F/43C, 750.0 ml Borax, 5.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 50.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter Recommended development times: Solution A—3 minutes Solution B—3 to 5 minutes Formulas 207 Agitate continuously in Solution A for the fi rst 60 seconds, then for 5 seconds every 30 seconds thereafter. Agitate continuously in Solution B. Alternately, agitate continuously in both solutions. After development the fi lm should be fi xed and washed in the usual manner. FORMULA #4 Reichner’s Divided Developer (William Reichner) SOLUTION A Distilled water at 125F/52C, 750.0 ml Metol, 1.8 g Sodium sulfi te, 100.0 g Sodium bisulfi te, 24.0 g Hydroquinone, 5.0 g Benzotriazole, 1.2 g Phenidone, 0.7 g Distilled water to make 1.0 liter SOLUTION B Balanced Alkali, 50.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 80.0 g *Potassium iodide, 0.1% solution, 10.0 ml Potassium bromide, 0.5 g Water to make 1.0 liter *A 0.1% solution of potassium iodide can be made by dissolving 1.0 gram in water to make 1.0 liter. Develop conventional emulsion fi lms for 3 minutes in each solution; do not rinse in-between. Develop T-grain fi lms for 4 minutes in each bath. Use continuous agitation in both baths.
208 THE <strong>DARKROOM</strong> <strong>COOKBOOK</strong> Capacity: Approximately 25 rolls of 35 mm or 120 fi lm, if Solution A is not contaminated by Solution B. Both baths should be fi ltered if precipitation or cloudiness occurs. NOTE: This formula may cause dichroic fog on some modern emulsion fi lms. Testing is advised. FORMULA #5 Stoeckler’s Fine-Grain Divided Developer (H. Stoeckler) This developer is a hybrid of Kodak D-23 and Kodak D-25.
