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

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.

A Great Developer

I've used Pyrocat MC in a Jobo for a number of years. I get good results on a wide range of films. The staining effect contributes to fewer printing steps. Highly recommended.

Formulary's D-25 Fine Grain Film Developer is a fine-grain film developer that contains metol and a mild silver solvent, sodium metabisulfite. The grain obtained with D-25 resembles that obtained with Developer 12, however, D-25 contains metol rather than the toxic p-Phenylenediamine found in Developer 12. Contrast is normal with D-25, but softness may result. D-25 is reputed to be a non-staining developer; however, staining and dichroic fog have been reported with modern fine-grain films.

Therefore, the developer should be tested with your current film before this developer is used extensively. The chemicals in this kit are used to prepare a working solution that has a shelf life of two months. A liter of working solution that has a shelf life of two months. A liter of working solution is used to process 4 rolls of film. The capacity is extended to 25 rolls per liter by using the replenisher, Formulary DK-25R.
