[Leica] B&W developers

[lluisripollphotography]

Chris,

Thank you very much, your information is useful for me. The friend who has used this developer was Pyrocat in Glycol, as far as I know Glycol gives long life and less toxicity. Your images are superb, I can’t see any difference on the monitor, I suppose your images are generally in Medium Format…. ,I usually use FP4 and HP5 too, I have just purchased to test ADOX100 and ORWO54, I have to finish my XTol before to try Pyro, I’ll keep your information, thank you again

Lluis
