Just before trying Pyrocat HD for the first time instead of my usual ABC (with HP5 8x10" in trays), is the loss of speed important with Pyrocat ? In ABC, I must rate the film at 100 to get good shadows.

I have no problem with streaking or uneven development. If, however, any contraction at all is required, I use the 2:1:1:15 dilution. The regular dilution wouldn't even give me enough time to inspect or to react.
Jorge said:I know when I tried the 1:1:1:7 I got uneven developing. Mainly because getting the film out of the developing for inspection caused aerial oxidation. When I did it by time I had no problems, but I like inspecting the film in the last few minutes.
