Shel,
I've found the same thing. IDII is a little higher energy than D76.
But if you compensate for the higher energy and reduce the development time,
the results are similar.

I see how it works for you. Unfortunately for me, I almost exclusively
use aperture priority mode, so I am always forced to support a good chunk of

First, thanks to the Pentax rep who let me handle the camera. I spent

and I know I did not get to everything everyone wants to know, but I found
out about what was important to me, and tried to find out other things
The MZ-S will have a minimum advertised price (MAP) in the U.S. I don't

Shel,
Permawash is cheap, relatively speaking, and it saves even more water
and time. I use a variation on Ilford's method, where I fill and invert 5

Cold light is diffused and from a tube that does not generate heat, like a
standard condenser enlarger head does. The advantage is very even

Use an electric knife, like the kind used to filet fish or cut meat. It
works great.
