Paterson Aculux?
Hello everyone.
Can anyone who has used Aculux share their experiences with it? What are it's characteristics? I've used ID11/D76 in the past and have more recently been using Xtol. How does it compare to those? Thanks, Simon. |

How does it compare to those? Thanks, Simon. I used it some last spring. It's a fine-grain developer that does not give very high speeds. It's a little sharper than D-76 with similar grain and speed. What films are you using most? |

Neopan 400 or Delta 3200 if I need the speed, Konica or Maco if I fancy a bit of infrared. And in medium format wherever I can. Any experiences with the other Paterson developers would be appreciated too. I'm clueless about them. Simon. |

FX-39 is designed for Ilford Delta films, and offers a little more contrast, but less shadow speed, than Acutol. For conventional films, Acutol is preferable. Aculux-2 is the fine-grain developer. I can send you my personalized development times if you'd like. The ones supplied by Paterson are horribly inaccurate, as are the times supplied by many firms. |
