I've been using a paper developer caled E-72 which is the following:
1/4 teaspoon Phenidone
2 tablespoons sodium sulfite
5 teaspoons ascorbic acid
6 tablespoons sodium carbonate
add to 1.5 liters of water then top up to 2 liters.
Works well for me. Don't remember where I got the recipe. Last at least 3
weeks in an airtight bottle. No triple beam needed.

For me one of the advantages of mixing my own is I don't need to mix up 5
litres of stuff. Unless I want to of course. I also rarely mix stock
solutions. Instead mixing straight up the diluted solution.
Ok, you've all peaked my interest. I promised myself photography would
be about taking pictures, not weighing powders.. But I'm a sucker for
anything new.
From other posts on other threads, my understanding, is the simplest to
start with is paper developer. Is this so?
I go through paper developer and fixer the fastest.
When mixing either from scratch, how much time does it take to mix say
two litres of each?
Thanks
P.S Thanks Nick for the tip on the book. I just ordered it now.
