D-23 developer preparation

I recently switched to mixing developer from components just before processing. Bought two chemicals in local chemical store. Shall add an article with details soon.

    I used to develop with D-23 all the time in the 1990s, simple formula that works!!!

    Hi, I use the caffenol formula, mainly in stand dev. I'm quite happy with it.

    @zcnb thanks for sharing! By the way, may I ask, what do you mean by "stand dev"? I think I met the word in informal description but never got precise meaning...

    The development stand consists of diluting the developer from 1/50 to 1/100. This lengthens the soaking times, generally 1 hour instead of the usual 12 - 15 minutes. No or very little reversal.
    Temperature 20 degrees. An advantage is the possibility of developing films with different ASAs. The rodinal is well suited to this. now I only use Caffenol. In the CL formula (easy to find on the internet) The results are excellent. I tested on Tmax 100, 400, 800, Foma 100, 200, 400, HP5, FP4, Agfa 100...
