Also the sole reducer (developing agent) in D23 film developer. Also the sole reducer (developing agent) in Selectol-Soft paper developer. They took the hydroquinone out of that one too. Selectol-Soft gives the best print color than any paper developer I've ever used. Pure P-Methylaminophenol Sulfate. No Phenidone, additives or artificial colorings. I even very much enjoy the COLOR that my negs I develop in Beutlers or D23 have. They look purplish selenium toned. And the smooth tonality. Don! those days i almost always used Panatomic. Now-a-days I use a full gamut of 100,400, and 1600 speeds. All Neopan by the way. Are you saying Beutler's only good for the slow stuff? I don't recall that and seem to recall I'd used it with Tri x a few times.
