Hello Richard,Thanks for giving me a starting point. I had absolutely no idea of where to start with the Benzotriazole; I would have been thrashing around in the dark. Now I have a lead. Thanks.Would Potassium Bromide be an acceptable Bromide? I just happen to have some.I just checked Amazon.com for the book by Grant Haist. Two volumes are mentioned: Monobath Manual (available) and Modern Photographic Processing, Wiley Series (unavailable). Are you referring to one of the above?regards, Bogdan
Potassium bromide is the usual form and will work fine.The Haist book is the second, _Modern Photographic Processing_. Grant republished it himself. I am not sure if its still available from him but you can try. I got my copy that way. The reprint is of the same quality as the original. I don't remember the cost but think it was on the order of $180 US and worth every penny.
Haist Press Box 805 Okemos, MI 48805I am assuming he is still alive. Grant and his wife live part of the year in Michigan and part in Florida. I have phone numbers which my still be good and will send them via private mail. This was the last gasp attempt at a comprehensive book on photographic processes along the lines of Mees' _Theory of the Photographic Process_. Mees had a lot more help than Haist so Haist's book is a real tour de force.
