LQN Film developer is considered the original ''Magic Water'' for Foma 100 and 400 ISO films.

I trenders total ISO rating with normal image contrast and lovely grey tones. This is a highly-compensating developer and gives a soft negative contrast. This is the standard developer for developing a Foma 100 at a proper 100 ISO or a 400 at true 400. It's less fine-grained than the Atomal-49 developer but easier to work with.

Processing times:

Almost all 100 ISO films have times of 7-8 minutes. Nearly all 400 ISO films have times of 9-10 minutes. Use at a dilution of 1+10.

Mixed two rolls of Foma 400 with this and the grey tones came out exactly as promised, smooth and lovely with normal contrast throughout. The compensating character really held the highlights in a bright outdoor scene I thought would blow out. One 250ml bottle stretched further than I expected for t

Finally pulled the trigger on this developer and the grey tones on my test rolls are gorgeous—really brings out shadow detail without blowing highlights. Mixing it was straightforward too, no fuss at all.

Elizabeth S. ★★★★★

The compensating effect is real—my Foma 100 negatives came out with beautifully smooth midtones and no blown highlights, even in harsh midday sun. Mixed it up in about five minutes and the 250ml bottle did a full week of rolls. Best part is the grey scale, which makes printing a joy.
