Good beginner lith devloper available at B&H???

Does B&H carry a good quality lith devloper that you would recommend for a beginner lith???

Freestyle photo has a good selection. Also, they are pretty dedicated to supporting silver processes, so I would be more inclined to go there instead of B&H. As for specific brand, the only one I am familiar with is LD20. It's expensive. They also have Moersch and Arista.

The only reason I specified B&H is because I have two gift cards and am placing an order for some other things. Freestyle does have a great selection of B&W "stuff"!

Dear stradibarrius,

It appears they only carry Fotospeed Lith developer. I've never used it but I would purchase it with confidence as it is a solid brand name.

They also have a 3 liter kit that includes 10 sheets of Fotospeed paper.

From what I hear, LD20 is the same as the Rollei developer which I am a big fan of.

Well I decided that I would rather patronize our sponsor "Freestyle" so the B&H thing is a non-issue now.

I started with the Fotospeed lith kit, which is sold by Freestyle and B&H. it's a nice easy way to get started, everything you need in one box.
The Fotospeed developer works well, though I didn't like the paper so much YMMV.
OTH, the paper I liked better at the time, and is still my favorite, is Forte Polywarmtone which is no longer available.
If you'd prefer to go à la carte, the Fotospeed developer works fine, as do many other lith developers.

FWIW, I am currently using the Moersch chemicals. With that, you get to buy products made by a forum participant (Wolfgang Moersch) from a forum sponsor, what could be better?

I use the LD20 from Fotospeed. it works well and is quite simple to use.

By the way, the FotospeedLith Paper have been discontinued. According to Tim Rudman, they are looking for a new supplier.
