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.

Take your black and white film photography to the next level with the Pyro Triethanolamine Developer, a renowned formula originally published in the July 1984 issue of Petersen's Photographic. This exceptional product was brought to life by Paul Farber, whose innovative solution was met with such high demand that it was transformed into a readily available kit with his permission.

The Pyro Triethanolamine Developer was initially designed for the creation of large negatives, yet it has demonstrated remarkable results on small format film as well. It's known for its smooth grain structure and full emulsion-speed capability, enhancing the quality of your black and white images with a refined, professional finish.

One of the standout features of this developer is its longevity. Unlike other film developers on the market, the Pyro Triethanolamine Developer can be replenished simply by adding fresh developer to compensate for the lost volume. This unique feature allows for continuous use over extended periods, potentially spanning years, making it a cost-effective and reliable choice for both amateur and professional photographers.

In summary, the Pyro Triethanolamine Developer for Black & White Film is not just a product, but a tool for enhancing your photographic creativity. It's a solution that makes 8Lt, providing ample volume for numerous film development sessions. Elevate your black and white film photography with this trusted and proven developer.
