The two-bath development concept is not new at all, there are a number of known recipes. Up until now, however, it has not been possible to achieve a good contrast compensation combined with a high contour sharpness. 

This problem is solved with Moersch MZB. This film developer delivers contrast compensation and at the same time a high level of contour sharpness and very fine grain. It creates negatives with harmonious levels of grey tones which also allows a remarkable degree of enlargement.

Not every negative is ready or able to be processed within to the Zone System, and this is particularly a problem when using 35mm or medium format photography. If the negative density is too high the highlights cannot be differentiated correctly in the print if at the same time, the shadow areas have to be clearly separated. This problem is real with modern emulsions and the only means to solve it by conventional development methods is to reduce the developing time. The disadvantage of this approach is that the sensitivity of the film is reduced. 

With MZB there is now another way: by observing the film sensitivity the gradient tone curve can be contoured to the highlights so that by using the recommended developing times the highlights can be shifted by approximately one Zone. Without going into the Zone system to deeply, it sufficient to say that above Zone VII the curve becomes slightly flattened. 

Packaging: 

MZB is delivered as a powder concentrate to make 2x2 liter stock solution. The solutions have a shelf life of at least 6 months even if kept in partly filled containers.
