Atomal FF
An old 5-liter package of the Agfa Atomal-FF film developer, a super-fine grain developer. It was the first developer I did use. The plastic bag contained 2 smaller bags with the parts A and B to mix accordingly the instructions printed on the back.
I used it mainly with medium and slow films like Agfapan 100 and 25, Ilford Pan-F and FP4, Kodak Plus-X, and some other old Agfa negatives in the 70s.
A problem at the time was the lack of information on the developing times for films by other companies than Agfa. The Massive Developing Chart Database didn't exist at the time!
It wasn't easy to start by such a powder developer. I had to increase the time for each new film with not always good result. Now, I always advice novices to take some one shot liquid developer, at least for their first steps in the darkroom.
