I have a few questions regarding photographic chemistry and in particular the mixing of developers. I was wondering if any of you had any experience in mixing a D-23 type developer with a high acutance developer such as Rodinal? For example, to bring out better shadow detail without the loss of acutance, use D-23 and Rodinal as a two bath process. As a starting point, use Ilford PanF+ at 50 ASA, dilute D-23 1:1 and immerse film for 5-6 minutes at 68 degrees F, rinse in distilled water, and then use Rodinal at 1:25 dilution for another 5-6 minutes. The exact times would be determined by experimentation (trial and error). If not PanF+ then what film would be more satisfactory. If not D-23 then what, if not Rodinal, then what ... ???(posted 8194 days ago)Any ideas or suggesions....??????
