For my previous post, if it's of any interest, the pH of the developer
listed in Patent 5,210,010 assigned to Ilford is 8.5 +/- 0.05 when
diluted 1+4.

The pH for the Microphen substitute is 8.8 +/- 0.13.

    In a subsequent message Ryuji says that Microphen has 
lower pH than *S-68 and in practice gives somewhat finer 
grain. DDX is not the same stuff. It would be interesting to 
compare results with Microphen and DDX to see what 
differences there are in the resulting negatives.
