I tried a forum search, but got no results, so I’m going public! I want to make my own developer and fixer. I’ve seen a few recipes on Flickr, mostly for developer – coffee, vit c, and washing soda but fixer recipes are a bit scarcer. Just wondered if any PI members have tried the homebrew approach?

Hi, What might be helpful is a book called Developing by C I Jacobson and R E Jacobson. Its an old book but has all the info you need. Lots of cheap copies on the web. Very useful reference book book for film photographers.
