If you like pyro you may also wish to try DiXactol which is usable as a 
one-bath or two-bath developer. It is a very sharp glycin - catechol formula 
that stains very much like pyro. It is available from Photo Formulary in the 
US, Silverprint in the UK and www.barrythornton.com
Even TMX and TMY produce good highlights in this stuff. HP5+ and APX400 
perform well too, but the graininess isn't the lowest those films are 
capable of. Delta 400 at normal speed is the only film I have tried so far 
that I preferred overall in another developer.

Malcolm
