My first experiments with a low-contrast, home-made push developer.
The formula comes from a patent by Anneman that probably was a precursor to the now unobtainable Perfection XR-1 developer. Perfection XR-1 seems to have been based on POTA and was capable of pushing ultra-fine grain and microfilms by two stops while keeping grain small and contrast acceptable. In a discussion of the patent, Gainer suggested a variant that is a concentrate and that replaces the hydroquinone and sulphite in the original by ascorbic acid.
It is that concentrate that I have tried to recreate and test. My recipe was:
Dissolve in 100ml of hot triethanolamine
Phenidone 3.8g
Metol 0.6g
Ascorbic Acid 2.3g
Borax 1.9g
and allow to cool. The concentrate is a pale straw colour.
I convinced myself that a good starting point for a film like Bluefire Police film would be a dilution of 1+200 for 60 minutes at 20C stand developed. That's what I have done for the four images posted here.
This first image shows a scene as it came out of the scanner and, for comparison, the same after the contrast had been slightly reduced in Photoshop.
As a first attempt with the developer I'm pleased with it. Points worth noting I think are:
- minimal or no base fog, despite the 60 min stand
- a working temp of 20C, as opposed to Perfection XR-1 that typically had to be used at 30C or higher
- minimal grain: I can't see it at the scanning resolution I used (4800dpi on an Epson Perfection V700)
- stand processing, rather than frequent agitation
- about 2 stops push over the box speed, which for Bluefire must be about EI 20 or possibly less.
I also got a more moderate contrast using this Anneman-Gainer developer than I did using Bluefire's own, so I count that as a success. The results came out looking like Rollei Retro 80S when I develop it in Rodinal, but if anything finer-grained and with slightly less contrast.
This is obviously not the optimal dilution/timing/method for this developer, but I think it shows promise and it is very, very easy and cheap to make. It would be great if I could encourage anyone else to play with it.
I hope to expose some Rollei ATP 1.1 tomorrow, weather permitting, and try the same time and dilution on that.
Feel free to link to this post if you know any other discussion groups or websites where it might be of interest.

Bluefire Police film @ 80
Stand dev in Anneman-Gainer developer 1+200 for 60 mins, 30s initial inversions + 1 inversion @ 30mins.
ADDED: The ATP 1.1 needs something stronger that 1+200 / 60 mins. When I get some more I'll try 1+100 for the same time.

Yahsica 124G camera, Ilford HP5 film shot and developed at rated speed in Kodak HC-110 at 1+30 concentration for 5 minutes.
Used HC110 but it's not that old or discoloured. Used different cameras so that is not the prob. This batch EOS 3 with 100-300 lens. VERY little PF was used at the end.
One of the most surprising looks we obtain happens when website developer explain the price of your own domain name to a different or potential client. It’s still, probably the most frequently requested questions among new customers and so i figured I’d have a couple of minutes to reply to probably the most frequently requested questions around domains - most significantly - just how much will a website cost?
WHAT’S Your Own Domain Name?
Let’s have a small take a step back. What’s your own domain name? Your own domain name is the home on the internet. It's really a personal address, a company address, or something like that for entertainment (Robin Johnson Lovers…) but it’s the ADDRESS where your site (and to some degree email) will reside. Us humans are pretty bad at memorizing figures along with other figures, but natural language is much more easy. So a long time ago computer scientists made the decision that people needed a method to translate 64.233.178.99 - into something just a little friendlier - google.com - therefore, the website name was produced.
So the bottom line is your own domain name is definitely an address on the internet - a lot of figures that, when typed out (and everything behind the curtain is setup properly) an internet website developer seems.
I’ll spare the technical mumbo-jumbo around domains for Wikipedia (and you understand what Used to do a week ago within my Thanksgiving downtime).
Just How Much DOES Your Own Domain Name COST?
I am not answering that yet! Here’s the offer - domains are extremely affordable, we’ve bought, offered and transferred thousands through the years, but here are a few points to consider about domains that's possibly much more important compared to cost or cost:
An excellent website name is amazingly valuable.
Your domain (when combined with email) provides continual marketing. Every email you signal becomes an chance for the receiver to understand more about you.
Your own domain name can enjoy a vital role in the prosperity of your internet marketing (should you suit your website developer name to frequently looked terms it can be done far better with search engines like google).
