I have not but I have used other monobaths before. They are convenient, but allow no control over gamma or really any part of the characteristic curve. Most of them are inherently very compensating because the development is limited by the fixation. If you like that look, good. Otherwise not so good.
The Air Force was very big on monobath processing for aerial film back in Vietnam, because temperature and time were not very critical and for people developing film in tents in the middle of a grassy field it reduced the handling considerably and got film out to analysts faster. Most of the monobath technology we have today came out of the space program and the Air Force. If you're in an environment where you can't get even processing, and I can see a lot of folks hand-processing motion picture film by rewind or in a bucket having that problem, the monobath could be a big help. On the other hand, so could a divided developer like Diafine. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
