2B-1 test
I recently encountered a Divided (two bath) developer recipe I had not seen before and decided to try it out today. (you can read about it here: imager.ie/a-phenidone-hydroquinone-two-bath-developer/)
At 5 + 4 minutes, it gave me more contrast than I wanted, so I will dial it down a bit next time. It did not preserve the highlights as well as Thornton 2 Bath does - they seemed a bit hot to me. Scanning is fine, but optical prints would be more of a challenge.
Photographed with the Hasselblad 500C/M and the 150mm Sonnar lens, film was Tri-X rated at 250 ASA.
