Actually pre-dates the ubiquitous D-76 by 25-30 years!!! I also heard that the D-76 / ID-11 formula was so widely used that almost all B&W films will get decent results with it, and is sort of a de-facto standard developer... Rodinal is still a good bet, though- After 35 years, I still find a place for a bottle of it under the sink!! Dan - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert G.
