In regard to Ansel's version of Ansco 130, it is not nearly as contrasty and gives a slightly different print color--he leaves out the hydroquinone. I use his variant at 1:1 and develop for 3-5 minutes, and in some cases as long as 10 minutes. This developer can reproduce phenomenal detail in things like clouds and fog, particularly with chloride papers.(posted 8855 days ago)Early on glycin was used in "fine grain" formulas for film, and since then has mostly seen use in high-acutance developers like FX-2 and FX- 11. I have not experimented with glycin film developers to any useful extent.
