Rollei RPX-D Developer 250ml
Rollei RPX-D is a new type of black and white film developer. RPX-D has been specially designed for Rollei RPX 400. It uses the nominal sensitivity of Rollei RPX 400 perfectly. RPX-D yields high acutance and excellent detail reproduction. RPX-D also yields high quality results when pushing. It even copes well with sensitivities of 800 and 1.600 ASA, with no visible change in the tonal value.

Advice:
Don't start at the beginning with the RPX-D immediately with 3.200 ISO and more. The extraordinary and unique strengths of the combination RPX400 and RPX-D lay in the range between 800 and 1.600 ISO. Only then this combination offers the desribed quality. In short: 800 and 1.600 ISO with the quality of 400 ISO. Your first test could look like this: A motive, if possible on a tripod, and then expose FOUR films within a very short period, each with 400 + 800 + 1.600 and 3.200 ISO. After processing in the RPX-D developer and when taking into account the individual dilution/times, you will have for sure a significant comparison! You can then be proud of yourself, as you have worked out the know-how about the results individually by yourself. You will detect in a direct comparison that at 400; 800 and 1.600 ISO the unlimited tonal values are usable, but that at 3.200 the basic fog increases - the grain size grows. THESE results are, truth be told, not any better than having exposed and processed a Kodak T-Max 3200 or a Delta 3200 at 3.200 ISO. However: At 800 and 1600 the combination RPX400 with the RPX-D offers results, that according to my knowledge will not be achieved or exceeded by any other film-chemical-combination. Quote: Ralf Sänger, photographer and author, interview on 23rd July 2011 at the "Unperfekthaus", Essen: "The results that I have achieved with the RPX 400 miniature film in combination with the RPX-D developer have convinced myself completely."! |
