It was by altering the pH of the First
Developer.
Oh. By
the way. ‘My results’ are VERY good. Or so I think. Anyway all I ask
is that you give it a try. You wont be sorry.
The formula I used was:-
Dl
CoIour Developer.
Sod. Sulphite (Anhyd)
36.0 gms.
Sod. Sulphite (Anhyd)
9.0 gms.
Hydroquinone
7.0 gms.
Trisodium Phosphate 12H20
30.0 gms.
Phenidone
0.25 gms. Pot.
Bromide 10%
3.0 mls.
Pot Thiocyanate 20%
12 0 mis.
Pot. Iodide 0.l%
10.0 mls.
Pot. Brorn. 10%
15.0 mis.
Citrazinic’Acid
0.4 gms.
Pot Iodide 0.1%
6 mins. Sod.
Hydroxide 10%
30/32 mls.
Benzotriozaie 1%’
0.0 mins.
Water to
1000 mls.
Water to
1000 mls.
I used a pH of both 9 3 and
Before use add CD3. 11.5gms per litre.
9.4. using either 1g Sod.
Adjust pH to 11.4 with either
Borax (9.4).
Metarborate 9.3 or 30g
Sodium Hydroxide or Sulphuric Acid
First Developer
8 minutes at 100F
Colour Dev.
7. minutes at 100F.
These figures are ones I used and gave
splendid results. Other workers may need to adjust to their own liking.
The formula and pH values, here are the ones H used for Konica.
How many members knew- or realised - that
there is still one, more combination of the Barfen/CRX/Sakura/Konica saga.
To those who did I apologise. To those who didn’t it’s Ilford who have
joined the fray. Yes their Ilfochrome is simply Konica Chrome 100.
So if you prefer the Ilford box - all white
and clean looking - to the much more colourful Konica package... it’ll
cost you 34p more. But the contents you’ll get will be precisely the
same.
CORRECTIONS
Ron Croad writes to apologise for sending the wrong pH values to his E 6
formula as reported in the July Newsletter, page 3 Please note the
corrections.
First Developer

9.6pH
Colour Developer

We hope that this didn’t cause any
inconvenience to members Ron also adds “ In the Bleach bath both the
Sodium Mono Sodium Phosphate are the crystalline form (one was written as
anhyd.).
