A test of a developer formulated by Andrew Jones called SB-103, which is a Metol developer formulated for stand developing high contrast materials for normal gradation.
SB-103
Metol 0.5g
Sodium Sulfite 4g
Sodium Bicarbonate 10g
Makes 1 liter
35mm Kodak Ortho Litho EI 1.5
Stand developed 7:40, 20C, with 4 slow inversions at beginning of development.
I've found it very difficult to get good gradation from this film, so I'm quite happy with this.
