At the Photo Expo show I picked up a Paterson brochure which described their FX-50 developer. According to the literature it's the best thing since sliced bread. Can be used as 1 or 2 bath, can be used for maximum sharpness, finest grain or maximum film speed depending on the ratio of parts A and B mixed. Eco-friendly (ascorbic acid??), speed increase up to 1.5 stops, "new standard of tonal reproduction". Sounds like it's at least worth a try.(posted 8409 days ago)The only problem is that I can find no data on it at all anywhere on the web - except for two questions here which didn't get any real responses (nobody had used it or found it for sale in the US). I don't see it listed for sale by anyone in the US either.
Anyone else had better luck?
