I was recently given a package of Neofin Blu developer.
The liquid is dark brown.
Before wasting time & film on it, is it normal or o.k. for it to be
brown or is that a sure sign of oxidation?

Thanks,

Chris

My vote's for: a sure sign of oxidation.

Definitely oxidized. Good Neofin Blue is clear. It is a high acutance,
but not necessarily fine grain, compensating b&w developer, IIRC.
Works best with very slow film. I never used it. Liked HC-110. I
think I even have the formula for it around somewhere, in a notebook,
in a box, in the attic, somewhere.

If it's not Blu(e) it's not good.
