I got the final ingredient to dev ADOX , Sodium Chloride Carbonate ("washing soda", or as this was called, "soda crystals"), in Fullertons for 83p a kilo this afternoon. Not bad, eh?

Here's a link to the formula for Beutler Developer . I need to get some sodium carbonate. This is said to be the best developer for ADOX single emulsion films. Some similar recipes here. I need to do some research on the film and the chemistry of this - but it seems that ADOX is more like the sort of film used in the 50s, and more able to give the kind of look I'm trying to get. I've got a couple of rolls to try out, (a 25iso, and a 50). I seem to have stumbled into my own genre. This is the Flickr set . Both the content and the title are provisional, but the idea is engendered.

Developing times in standard developers: ISO 100 35mm, roll, or sheet film: If exposed at film's regular speed of ISO 100, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 8 Min If ISO 100 film is exposed at ISO 200 for increased speed and optimum differentiation of highlights, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 11-12 Min. ISO 50 35mm, roll, or sheet film: If exposed to films regular speed of ISO 50, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 7 Min If ISO 50 film is exposed at ISO 100 for increased speed and optimum differentiation of highlights, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 9-10 Min. ISO 25 35mm, roll, or sheet film: If exposed to film's regular speed of ISO 25, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 6 Min If ISO 25 film is exposed to ISO 50 for increased speed and optimum differentiation of highlights, the following developing times apply: Kodak D76/ID-11: 8-9 Min.

I've ordered a couple of rolls of ADOX 120 - one each of 25 and 50 iso - from retrophotographic .
