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 > El 14 juny 2017, a les 22:41, Christopher Crawford <chris at > chriscrawfordphoto.com> va escriure: > > You can?t really say ?Pyro? is ?Good? or ?Bad? because there are a bunch > of pyro-based developers out there.
