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 BW-44 Liquid Film Developer was formulated because of the many calls the Formulary had been receiving for liquid pre-mixed formulas for film, paper and fixing. They feel that the BW-44 is a very good developer with all films. The life of the stock solutions is 1 year in tightly capped bottles. This formula uses A and B stock solutions. You can expect to get 10-15 rolls of film per liter of developer at a 1:1:5 dilution. The working solution has a life of 2 weeks. BW-44 is a high capacity developer and very suitable for large or small format. This formula should give the very best in shadow detail and sharp highlights. You can vary the dilutions from 1:1:1 up to 1:1:20.
