FA: Edward Weston's favorite developer, Amidol is USUALLY expensive -- not here!
Selling more supplies and equipment from the estate of a young
photographer. This is a partial bottle of Photographer's Formulary Amidol Developer, a usually very expensive chemical for B/W film and prints. When full, this 1/2 lb bottle cost over $100. Now it's over 1/3 full, and I'm starting at $9.99. Do the math. Why was Amidol beloved of Edward Weston, and many contemporary printers who use Azo paper? Because: Prints developed in amidol have very good tone separation. It produces rich, neutral bluish-black tones on papers which look greenish with standard developers like Dektol. The image develops quickly, but you can keep developing for a long period for better density. It's about the only low-ph developer in existance If you need to dilute it to lower contrast, the print will not turn brown as with other developers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7534143756 |
