[Leica] B&W developers

[Don Dory]

For easy compensating developing that is not insanely sensitive to time and
temperature I would highly recommend Xtol dilute 1:3.  Development time is
a little long compared to others but that is why if you miss your temp by a
degree and are distracted for thirty seconds you will still have great
negatives.  Edge detail is good but not Pyro or even some of the lower
dilutions of Rodinal but much better than the high dilution Rodinal.

All the best.
