Response to Recipe for vestal's divided d-76?

Hi Matthew,

Here is the formula for David Vestal's Divided D-76;

Solution A

Water 750.0 ml Elon or metol 2.0 gm Sodium Sulfite 50.0 gm Hydroquinone 5.0 gm Water to make 1000.0 ml

Solution B

Water 750.0 ml Sodium Sulfite 50.0 gm Borax 2.0 gm Water to make 1000.0 ml

If I remember correctly, the film is developed in Solution A for 4 minutes (with normal agitation) followed by 10 minutes in solution b with with normal agitation. Stop, Fix and Wash normally. Don't let solution B get into solution A or you'll wreck solution A.

As with any film, you should test first before committing any important pictures to this process.

Hope this helps...

Mike Sullivan
