Amazing compensating developer
Truly a versatile and incredible developer. I bought it initially to use on films that HC-110 struggles with so I primarily used it on Delta 400, and Tmaxx 100, and TX 400. I also use it for pushing film. It has exceeded all expectation and is becoming my go-to developer now. For $8 you can't afford not to try it.
