Adox FX39 II was formulated and has been readjusted for more than 40 years by the photochemistry legend Geoffrey Crawley, he created this masterpiece in the heydays of film and has been improving over the years with updates by ADOX.
The orignal FX-39 was introduced to suit the tabular-grained films such as the Kodak T-Max and Ilford Delta ranges, which respond differently to most developers than conventional films do. Unlike other acutance developers, FX39 does not compress mid-tones.
Technical data:
500ml developer concentrate with a standard dilution: 1+9 “one-shot” application.
High dilution: 1+19 ”one-shot” application for increase of the compensating effect (by 75% extended developing time). By doing this film speed is a bit lower. So it is possible to trade compensating effect for film speed in a certain range.
Developing times are listed on the Massive Dev Chart at Digitaltruth.com

John Pillinger –
It’s been hard to find FX-39 for a while so coming across Nik & Trick has turned out to be something of a bonus, not withstanding all the other stuff I’ve found here already, their price of this developer is the best I’ve ever known.
Big respect!
