We have researched and experimented with the chemistry of photography, basing our work on some of the fundamental texts on the subject: for example, “ Fotoricettario” by Oscar Ghedina and Ansel Adams’ trilogy.
As a result, we have been able to rediscover some historic formulas and adapt them to modern emulsions. By using special developing techniques, such as high dilution, double fixing bath, solutions of sodium sulphite diluted to 10%, we have managed to achieve optimum quality in terms of sharpness, compensation and sensitivity.

In the example, you can see optimum grain control and excellent grey scale in a 30x40 print from a negative TX 135mm, exposure 6400 ISO, processed in Emofin. Printed using a Durst 138 condenser enlarger. Photo by Alessandro Scotti ©
