I keep coming back to this developer. I like the fact that it's a liquid and that I can make small batches without doing mathematical gymnastics. ;-) The resulting negatives are as good as I've ever gotten from other developers (and I've tried many).

I am very pleased with this product. I received comments as to the density of my negatives when using this. I hardly ever need to use filters for contrast, the negatives turn out perfect. I will be purchasing this again and again. Great value for a home darkroom user.

I've developed about 10 rolls of film with this developer thus far, but I'm still a bit confused. The bottle states 6.5 min for HP5/400. However, Ilford claims D76 at 1:1 should take 11 minutes. I've resorted to experimenting, and the 6.5 min value yields somewhat thin negatives. So is this developer, when mixed as directed, equivalent to D76 at 1:1 or not?

The great thing about this product is that it will stay fresh (unopened)on the shelf for 4 or 5 years. Once opened it is good for about a year as long as the color doesn't turn brown

This product is great for those of us who are either on a budget or are just starting out (or in my case, getting back in) in the black and white photography world. I've found this product worked great in a varying temperatures as I don't have my own climate controlled dark room, but be sure to check with what your film manufacturer says about development times. Speaking of development, this product is the chemical equivalent to D76 at 1:1 when mixed according to the bottles instructions. So keep that in mind when looking at dev. charts and curve graphs. I personally use this on Fuji Acros 100, both 120 and 35mm and find that it gives consistent results every time...even if I'm not.

I have for years been trying to do a FREE class to younger students to open their eyes to the world opf photography as both an art and a science. I have tried for wuite a while to work through the history and set up a dark room so students could see the "way it used to be". In recent years it's not easy to find quality products that work easily. This prodcut fits the bill and has enabled me, on my limited budget to demonstrate photography before the digital age.
