Thoughts on Ars-imago B&W Development Film Kit?

Which kit are you referring to ? Is it the ECO kit for B&W developing and if so are you asking about its quality from those who have used it or about whether it is value for money

If it is the former then I cannot help as I am not a user. I have had a look at the kit and its price and I do have some views about its value for money but unless it is this aspect you want to hear opinions about then I will say no more until I know what the word "opinions" means

Thanks

I'd like to know what do people that used the basic Ars-imago Development Film Kit think about it.

while I see the benefits of an all-included box of chemicals for starting off, the main issue I would see is determining developing time for different films. Almost every film datasheet has times for D76. Most have times for HC110, Xtol, Rodinal. They are not going to list ArsImago developers. There is a good chance the chemicals they have packaged can use the times for another developer, but you'd have to determine that if you are going to use. There are a limited number of times on the Massive Dev chart here: https://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart-mobile.php?Film=&Developer=%Ars-Imago%&mdc=Search Unfortunately MDC times are community based, and not necessarily as reliable as manufacturer data sheets.
