[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been using Kodak B&W films for the past twenty years, using D-76, HC-110 and Tmax developers. I have on occasion used Ilford B&W films such as HP5 with mixed results. I would like to use Ilford PanF Plus with my Leicas but I'm not sure what developer to use that will give the best possible results with economy in mind. Preferably, I would stay away from one-shot developers unless the dilution was rather high. I have been using and reusing Tmax developer with more than adequate results, but I don't believe Tmax would be appropriate for PanF. What is everyone else here using and what is recommended ? Funny thing is, I've been shooting a lot of digital with my Canon 1D and the newpapers D-1. More and more I find myself shooting B&W with my R8s. I currently have several hundred feet of TMAX100 and PlusX125 in the refrigerator. I would like to pick up some PanF and give that a try. I would also like to use the new developer with the Kodak B&W films. I have already looked at the Ilford site and the choices are many. Just looking to see what others are using with their Leicas.
