jeff_harting1 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have not shot or developed a role of black and white film in over 10 years, everything is digital now and we print everything on our Noritsu printer. Lately I have gotten a bit nostalgic and started thinking about firing up the old darkroom, the equipment is still there but of course I have no chemistry. So I started looking up all my old favorites and can't find any mention of zonalpro:( so I'm guessing they are out of business? If so does anyone have a suggestion for a similar product. my young grandson seems interested in this "new technology" so that should keep me motivated.

larrydressler Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 <p>I used Zonal Pro years ago. I think it is still around just under a different name. I would suggest HC-110 mixed right from the bottle if you are not going to do a whole lot of developing and want the developer to last a long time.<br> Look at this link to get all you may need on HC-110.<br> http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_harting1 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks Larry i will have a look, for some reason I never used it. Maybe someone will show up and tell us about the status of zonalpro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 <p>Last time I saw it was a seller/dealer on ebay. Seemed to have it in stock. That was maybe last year.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 <p>Apparently Alta, the manufacturer for ZonalPro, is no more. At last check there was a distributor with some in stock: <a href="http://www.omegabrandess.com/products/Alta-Zonal-Pro">Omega Brandness</a></p> <p>I liked their warm tone print developer in particular. Great stuff with Ilford, Agfa and Luminos warm tone fiber papers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy_pace Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 <p>Freestyle carries a warm-tone paper developer under their house brand, Arista. The product is called "Arista Premium Warmtone HQ Paper Developer." Freestyle claims that it is a replacement for the Zonal Pro HQ, although I have not used either. You can do a search for the product on their website, or click <a href="http://freestylephoto.biz/35164-Arista-Premium-Warmtone-HQ-Paper-Developer-1-quart?cat_id=301">here</a>. Good luck!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
