KODAK

Kodak tmax 400

I enjoy using these materials (the powder developer and fixer) and because I live on a small island in Alaska- the delivery over from NYC was a bumpy ride. One of the handful of bags I ordered was busted and spilled all over my entire order. But the delivery is so quick! I really can't complain too much.

Bag was busted

Always a great product for the last 50 years I’ve been in the darkroom .

Kodak chemistry

This was my first developer, and it gives good, consistent results with just about any film.  You can use stock solutions or dilutions such as 1+1 or 1+3 for some control of results.  Its disadvantage, which isn't really much, is that you have to mix it up with pretty hot water, hotter than your tap probably puts out.  Also, it goes bad in about six months, maybe less, unless you keep it in full, tightly stoppered bottles.  So, unless you develop a lot of film, it will likely go bad before you use it up unless you use it full strength all the time or you keep it in progressively smaller bottles (or use the marble trick to keep the level up to the top of the bottle).  However--this developer gives really good results, and may be all you ever need in a developer.

Good Basic Developer

I loved the free shipping!
That said, I'd have liked to be able to track the shipping process and the package was leaking a little powder when it arrived.

two tiny quibbles

Always had good results with this developer.

D-76 Developer

Powder over liquid

I am just starting to develop my own film.  I have had good results so far with this developer.  Still trying to get my timing down.

First time developer getting good results

Leaves no doubt!

OK if you are reading this you already know all about D-76.  It is a classic formula that has a great shelf life in a seal package.  It can also handle nearly all popular B&W films.  I use it 1:1 so to keep the working solution consistent but you can use any way you want to achieve the desired results.

Another Fave in the lab 

Classic developer. Perfect for Tri-x with small but beautiful grain.

Easy to make. A classic

One of the most versatile B&W developers ever produced, it yields very good results with every panchromatic film I have used.  It's easy to use either full strength or diluted 1:1.  Once mixed, it has very good shelf life if stored in completely filled  amber glass bottles (or clear glass if stored away from light).

Reliable and Stable B&W Developer

Standard developer that works well as expected. Came very quickly and was well packaged with all other items. 

Two thumbs up

Quick Service

Classic developer does what its done for half a century

Classic

Great product

I have used other devolopers but D76 is perhaps my favorite.

Works really good

has a great shelf life and is one of the best developers you can get your hands on

simple to use great results

This is the gold standard of developers.  Simple and foolproof.  Follow the directions and mind your temperatures and you will have good solid negatives every time.

The Gold Standard

D76 has been a standard for black & white film developer for decades and deserves to be.

One of the best all-around film developers

Been developing films since the 70s.   Kodak chemicals have always been reliable. Have used other chemicals, but always came back to Kodak. They have never failed me.

Kodak Darkroom

what can i say it works well. follow instructions for mixing.

good stuff

About a table spoon of developer powder had leaked out of a puncture in on arrival. This leakage probably was not due to handling. It should have been noticed by quality control.

Package had a hole, leaked some contents

Old standby works well and stores well. Very dependable.

Old Standby

I've used this developer for over 15 years and it's SUPER!! PLEASE Kodak, keep making it. I just wished you still made the T-Max B&W developer in the one gallon size!!

EXCELLENT product! PLEASE keep making this Kodak!!

Good developer, Use it for tmax and tri x
All ways know what to expect.
Have used since 1977

D76, Hope Kodak does not go way

I needed this developer for a photography class at a community college. We normally use Sprint Cemistry but ran out and needed this in a hurry. Adorama shipped this out really quickly and the class was saved.

Good Old Stand-by

Mixes easily.  Performs beyond expectations consistently.

Excellent product.

D-76 is the standard black and white developer. Works with just about any B&W film (except maybe high contrast microfilm and other unusual applications).

Tri-X 400 mix 1+1 at 75 F. for 7:45 minutes. Really nice tones, contrast and grain.

Simple to mix, just follow instructions. Lasts well in the bottle. If you are starting out, you can't go wrong with D-76 and you may never need to try anything else.
