Response to D-76 and PMK sources.

There is information on mixing PMK and my developing times for various films at http://unblinkingeye.com. You need to be very careful when handling pyro-gallol, as it is quite toxic, though I have managed to do it safely for several years now. I enjoy mixing my own developers, though I'm not sure if I save that much money. If I were you, to start with, I would buy a small quantity of pre-mixed chemistry and give it a try. I really think D-76 is a bit outmoded these days. With the quality of today's films, Rodinal is an excellent choice, and very economical.
