Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire ★★★★★

Shot a roll of HP5 at box speed and developed in this for 11 minutes at 20°C — the negatives came out with a lovely fine grain and tonal range that holds up in the highlights. Contrast sits right where I want it for normal scenes, and it’s cheap enough that I don’t mind mixing 1+50 for small batches

Richard ★★★★★

Finally, a developer that gives me those classic Rodinal-style negatives with a hint of extra smoothness—the fine grain is exactly what I wanted for my medium format rolls. Contrast stays nicely balanced even when I push it a stop, and the 250ml bottle has lasted me through a good number of tanks.

Sofia ★★★★★

I’ve been using this developer for my medium format negatives, and the contrast is just right—not too harsh, but plenty of snap. The 250ml bottle lasts longer than I expected for the price.
