Benzotriazole acts as a restrainer without affecting other properties of the developer. It can also be used as a fog restrainer when processing out dated papers

When blue-black or cold-black image tones are desired with bromide papers, benzotriazole should be used in addition to, or substituted for, potassium bromide

Make a 0.2% solution of benzotriazole (2 grams benzotriazole in water at 125°f/52°c or higher to make 1 liter) then reduce the bromide to 1/10 or 1/6 strength and use just enough Benzotriazole solution to prevent developer stain or fog. A little experimentation may be required.

The same treatment can be applied to chloride and chlorobromide papers to eliminate any greenish black tendencies and/or achieve a blue-black tone.

[1.2 lb] It holds 6-7 cards plus 4-5 notes. Easy to access any card you need while keeping the overall thickness very low. Like the design. 5

[1.2 lb] I used this to develop a 40 year old roll of film. I tried developing without this, but it didn't work. After adding Benzo to my mix, I finally got the film developed! 5

[1.2 lb] I found a bulk loader in an antiques store holding a full roll of Ansco Super-Hypan Neg from the 1960's. I tried 7 different development tests before landing on a method that works to develop the film at ISO 100, and benzotriazole is a big component of the success. Upon receiving I added the 10g directly to a a liter of water to make a 1% w/v solution and poured some into a dropper bottle for use. Approximately 15 drops makes 1 mL. I develop my Ansco film in a Paterson tank with a 400mL solution of HC-110 Dilution B (1+31), with 30 drops or 2mL of benzotriazole. If I process 3 rolls at a time later on in a 1L developer solution I would use 75 drops or 5mL of benzotriazole for the same concentration. Agitation is continuous, to make up for the restrained development. You might experiment with less and less benzotriazole until it's barely enough to restrain the fog, as the restrainer also impacts contrast by inhibiting development of the shadows along with the fog. 5

[1.2 lb] I know this is meant for the Gratical, but I recently installed it on my Z-Finder and it works perfectly for eyes that need a little extra magnification in the viewfinder. 5

[1.2 lb] I found a bulk loader full of Ansco Super-Hypan, last made in 1967. After many development attempts and step-by-step improvements, I'm able to get usable, scannable, and darkroom printable (yes, really!) negatives. I'm use HC-110 at dilution B, and I add 45 drops (about 3mL) in my 400mL of developer. This works out to be 7.5mg/L of developer. Continuous agitation for 9 minutes is used to maximize activity in the highlights with the highly-restrained developer. 5

[1.2 lb] This is a fun way to add some colorful creative effects to your instant photography. The look can range from subtle to very pronounced depending on your subject and which filter you use from this pack. I say if you like the samples shown on the product package, you'll probably have a lot of fun with this. Included are two photos I made, one with the Austin filter and one with the Northern Lights filter. 5
