[MF3D.FORUM:190] Re: B&W technique



Does no one practice B&W reversal any more?
I do appreciate that with your method more than one copy can be 
made, but the depth of tones achieved with direct reversal of FP5 or 
PAN F takes a hell of a lot of beating.
If I intend to reverse B&W I would shoot 6X6 and glass mount.
I must agree with your remarks about pyro, the trouble is that I 
can't get it any more over here. I also used to use Sease Formula lll
which was Paraphenyline Diamine (PPD) with Metol - - - staggering
results, but once again, no longer available here. I think that the 
authorities believe that all British photographers wish to poison 
themselves!!!!!. Things arn't that bad, really.
