Nik & Trick’s Two Part “Dichotomic” B&W Film Developer

Nik & Trick’s Two Part “Dichotomic” B&W Film Developer is essentially a variation on a theme of two bath D23.

It makes up into two parts and acts a lot like Diafine. keeping incredibly well for extended periods and thus is an amazingly economical and versatile film developer, in fact, our test sample has been working now, though occasionally used for more than four years!

Intended and formulated for those that like to experiment, people who like to try new things and like to work to evolve them….we’re working on it too since being so new there’s no established online information!

No big deal as like Diafine the development times (so far!) are fixed at four minutes for Part A then Eight minutes for Part B….both adjustable, then wash and fix as per normal.  It’s veryeasy.

Results show us that the tweaks to the original formula for improved contrast seem to work well, it offers a really nice calm tonal range, good accutance and nice grain structure….click the image below for a closer look at what one customer has achieved:
