What makes Diafine unique is a couple of reasons. First and foremost it is two-part and two-step developer. You have Part A and Part B, just make sure that the streams don&#8217;t cross or you&#8217;ll kiss your whole batch goodbye. So that means you develop in Part A first usually three minutes then Part B for another three minutes. Unless it&#8217;s Acros then it&#8217;s five (for the freezer burn). If you&#8217;re pushing this is the developer for you but it isn&#8217;t cheap, but it lasts a very long time.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnmeadows\/15553639358\/\" title=\"Natasha\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5612\/15553639358_0951edcb41_b.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"998\" alt=\"Natasha\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rolleiflex 3.5E3 &#8211; Schneider-Kruznach Xenotar 75mm 1:3.5 &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 400 @ ASA-800 &#8211; Diafine (3+3)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnmeadows\/15793291805\/\" title=\"Karen\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5602\/15793291805_eed1e6190d_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1017\" alt=\"Karen\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rolleiflex 3.5E3 &#8211; Schneider-Kruznach Xenotar 75mm 1:3.5 &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 400 @ ASA-800 &#8211; Diafine (3+3)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1017px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnmeadows\/16011068988\/\" title=\"Justine\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/8655\/16011068988_33a63c9d6b_b.jpg\" width=\"1017\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Justine\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rolleiflex 3.5E3 &#8211; Schneider-Kruznach Xenotar 75mm 1:3.5 &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 400 @ ASA-800 &#8211; Diafine (3+3)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><em>Rollei RPX-D<\/em><br \/>\nWhen it comes to one-trick ponies, look no further than Rollei RPX-D.

Some of Eastman high-contrast films like 2366 or 5363 are other good choices for using with the developer.
