Hi Craig,
That's one of the formulas I pulled off the 'net after my search with
Google. The formula is from Patrick Dignan's book "Classic B&W Formulas"
I have 400 ft of 16mm Microfilm, Fuji Super HR, and I've been told by
several people who shoot in 16 and 8 mm that Diafine is the way to go
with Microfilm. So I want to find out for myself. Developer's that are
dedicated to microfilm give a very contrasty neg whereas Diafine gives
the neg tonality and enables the microfilm to be used for pictorial
purposes.
I have 400 feet. so might as well play around with it.
Thanks for taking the time to copy it out for me; much appreciated.
Cheers,
Bogdan

Would anybody in the group have the formula for Diafine?

Here's one from my files.... Supposed to be a Diafine equivalent, but
I've not tried it. Personally, I had mediocre results with Diafine and
never pursued it after that but many people have excellent results with
their materials and techniques. If you have the components, it might be
worth a try.
Solution A
Dist Water 750 ml
Sodium Sulfite 35 g
Hydroquinone 6 g
Phenidone 0.2 g
Sodium Bisulfite 6 g
Water to make 1000 ml
Solution B
Water 750 ml
Sodium Sulfite 65 g
Sodium Metaborate 20 g
Water to make 1000 ml
