James ★★★★★

Mixed a batch of print developer last night and this soft working agent dissolved without any residue, which is more than I can say for some other powders I've tried. The 50g size is perfect for testing out new formulas without committing to a huge container. My highlights came out noticeably smooth

Grace ★★★★★

Even a tiny 50g bag goes a long way for mixing small-batch film developer recipes, and it dissolves noticeably faster than the hydroquinone I normally use.

Isabella V. ★★★★★

Finally got my hands on this 50g bag and it dissolves clean with no clumping, which makes mixing a batch of D-76-style developer from scratch way less fiddly. The soft working character is exactly what I needed for smoother midtones on my HP5 rolls. Can't wait to dial in my next brew.
