Nicholas F. ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

Used this for a roll of HP5 at 800 and the shadows came out way cleaner than expected, with almost no extra grain. The bottle mixed up easily and I got a consistent four working solutions out of the one litre.

Finally got a roll of Tri-X pushed to 1600 developed in this and the grain is still surprisingly tight. One litre makes plenty of stock solution, so it’ll last me a while even with frequent shooting.

I've been shooting at 800 with this and the shadow detail actually holds up, which is rare for a speed-boosting developer. The grain stays tight too, not mushy like I expected from a fine grain formula. Went through the whole liter in three months of regular use and every roll came out clean.
