Just for the record, I would dispute that HC-110 is the popular general purpose developer of choice. I suspect that honor would still go to D-76. It's not my developer of choice as it's apparent increase in sharpness over D-76 comes at the expense of larger grain. My general purpose developer of choice would be XTOL, but I guess it depends on what your general purposes actually are... > > Short of buying something like that at a camera shop, what > would one use? > Or would they just purchase something like that? > I bought some of the cheap brown plastic jugs at a camera store. They work ok, but I go through the chems pretty quick, so if there were a problem I probably wouldn't know it. Dark glass is the container material of choice if you're not fumble-fingered. You can find drinks that come in brown and blue glass bottles and these work fine, or you can order them from science supply companies such as http://www.tri-esssciences.com/bottles1.htm Clear glass is ok too as long as you store the bottles in the dark. A half hour exposure to light every other week isn't going to make anything go bad. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
