Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JULIUS S : I'll be honest - I have not used a ton of developers, just this and Ilfotec. I haven't even compared the two, and I switched papers when i switched to this developer. That being said, I really like it, it's super fast, and works with my budget. I'm very happy with the photos I've used this with.

Try it. You Will like it.

It has an excellent tray life. I was interrupted in one darkroom session, so I covered the tray with a larger tray and came back about 24 hours later, and ot worked fine. It is one of the developers that rivals the old Kodak "Dektol" for overall performance.

Best ever!

I don't think I'll bother trying any other paper developer. This stuff works great! And it seems to last forever! I'm still using the same batch I diluted three weeks ago and it hasn't changed color yet. I'll keep using it until it quits working and then mix up some more.
