Following up on my thread about developer/film options for a b/w beginner.I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 2 bath developer Resofine 2B.Available in the UK from Speedibrews via Silverprint etc.
I can find a lot of info' on DIAFINE,but not a much on this one.I was wondering if it has the same qualities as Diafine.

Well-known
I don't know a thing about Resofine, but I know a LOT about Diafine.
Just be aware that all 2-bath developers are NOT the same.

RESOFINE 2B two bath developer.
RESOFINE 2B two bath developer.
Herewith details from the Resofine 2 bath developer Spec. Sheet provided to me by Speedibrews the UK manufacturer of the process--
Resofine 2-B is a two bath developer giving finest possible grain,high acutance,semi-compensating effect,and either normal or increased film speed at the discretion of the user.It is equally suitable for slow,medium and fast black and white films up to 400ASA,but not for chromogenic films such as Ilford xp2.
Films should be exposed at their normal ASA ratings,but for available light work,film speed can be doubled with almost no increase in granularity or contrast by increased developement.
Details for normal developement,and for increased film speed developement are provided with the chemicals.Modern films such as TMax and Delta are catered for.Times are also given for 120 film.
(As an example at 20C the first bath for 'normal' 35mm film would take 4mins/35 secs,while the second bath would require 5m 40s. for slow/medium speed films,and 6m 50s. with 400 asa film.)
The details state that the 1 litre kit will process 15 films,and in normal/average conditions will keep for 2 months.
Mail order from Silverprint.
Thought that this may be of interest.
Not ideal for me,as I doubt that I would be producing 15 rolls in 2 months.
