I've had good experiences with Photographer's Formulary products since 2012
This time I bought my Pyrocat-HD in Glycol from Adorama for convenience sake. I've had good experiences with Photographer's Formulary products since 2012 and have had consistent success with them. "Shiprock" was developed using a dilution of 1.5:3:100 in a Jobo 3005 Expert drum and a Jobo CPP3 processor operated at 55 RPM.
I say give it a try
Excellent stuff. Easy to mix and use. A great way to get a different look from your black and white film. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but definitely worth a try for experimentation's sake and to try and get closer to your artistic vision as a film photographer
Formulary's ABC Pyro Film Developer is a classic formula that uses Pyrogallol as the developing agent and is similar to Kodak D-1 and Ansco 45. Formulary ABC Pyro is designed for large format use and produces negatives with normal to low contrast. The grain is low and acutance high. The negatives have beautiful scale and gradation; however, there is a loss of about 1/2 stop in film speed. The chemicals in the kit are used to make three stock solutions which are combined and diluted to make the working solution. A 1 liter kit yields 10 liters of working solution. The shelf life of the stock solutions is six months. The working solution is used once then discarded.
