Mortensen evidently used more than one developer for his "gamma-infinity" method. The following formula is also cited for this method. Water .................................. 750 ml Sodium sulfite (anhy) .................. 90.0 g Paraphenylenediamine ................... 12.0 g Metol .................................. 7.0 g Benzoic acid ........................... 6.0 g Water to make .......................... 1.0 l Both formulas require long development times. For the above formula this time is required to produce sufficient contrast and for the other formula to produce sufficient density.

Sodium Carbonate 2.5 oz For the example photo in the book, Johan The Mad, Mortensen developed Agfa Ortho Film Pack 1931 for 2.5 hours. I'm assumming that he used stand development. I'm including this formulat since the book itself is quite rare. -Peter De Smidt ================================================================================ ============================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
