Film developer
Acutance developer.
This is a moderately high accutance developer without compromising tonal rendition of the film. This developer is for one-shot use only, but the solution is very inexpensive.
This developer may be further diluted 2+1, by dissolving all the ingredients in 1.5 liters of water, or equivalently, mixing two parts DS-12 with one part water.
For strictly fresh preparation and one-shot use, DS-2 is photographically very similar to DS-12 and much simpler.
DS-12 development time is close to Ilfosol-S (1+9) development time. DS-12 (2+1) development time is close to Ilfosol-S (1+14) development time.
