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

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'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.

Why settle for less when you can achieve professional-grade film development with the Windisch Catechol Film Developer from Photographers' Formulary This high-quality, Catechol-based compensating film developer is designed to produce low to normal contrast negatives, ensuring fine grain and superior resolution.
With the ability to record a range of up to 15 stops on normal film, this efficient film developer delivers results that are not only comparable but slightly superior to those achieved with POTA. What sets it apart is its ability to infuse your negatives with more contrast, enhancing the depth and detail of your images.
Expect a slight decrease in film speed, ranging from 0.5 to 1 stop, which is a small trade-off for the exceptional quality of images produced. The kit includes chemicals to create two distinct stock solutions, which are then diluted in a 5:3:200 ratio to form the working solution.
This reliable film developer is designed for single use, ensuring optimal performance with each new batch. From a 1-liter kit, you can yield up to 40 liters of working solution, making it a cost-effective choice for both amateur and professional photographers.
The shelf life of Solution A is six months, while Solution B lasts for a month, ensuring you have ample time to utilize the solutions effectively. The kit includes two packages to create Solution B, providing added convenience.
