What developer do you use?

[Jeff Kubach]

I use them in this order D-76, T-max, HC110, Rodinal.

It would be strange for the high priest of the Church of Rodinal to not use the holy brew, right?

Yes sir! I am honoured that anybody remembered me and the church!

I use Parodinal - 60%
D23-10%
Neofin Blue-30%

 

[DolganoFF]

Rodinal only, 1:50 (Foma R09 NEW, actually).
Why? Because it is cheap and easy to use and reliable and good enough for what I do.

 

[L Gebhardt]

I use Kodak Xtol. After much testing and nothing really achieved, I decided to stick to one developer only. It does everything well for my needs.

You summed it up exactly for me. XTOL 1+1.

The only exception is Rodinal for some APX100 and 400 I still have, where I like the results I get with the times I use. No need to chase a new combination when I can't get more of the film.

hc-110 and xtol for fuji neopan acros. Mostly hc-110 these days as I've been to lazy to mix up my xtol. Both are excellent developers.

 

[Chazzy]

Xtol 1+1 for everything. I have thought about playing with the dilutions a little.

 

[2F/2F]

Ilfotec HC and D-19, primarily. Occasionally ID-11/D-76 or T-Max. Perceptol once in a blue moon. HC-110 sometimes, when I am at the school lab and have not brought my Ilfotec with me.

For paper, Ilford Multigrade or PQ Universal. Sometimes Arista A/B powdered litho developer.

 

[Ian Grant]

100% Pyrocat HD for films and 98% Ilford ID-78 for paper, other 2% ID-3 (D165 - Selectol Soft).

[largeformat pat]

120 - 35 mm Emofin. 4 x 5 & 8 x 10 PMK.

 

[funkpilz]

100% Rodinal, but now and then there's some Ultrafin or Ilfosol in there.

 

[Amir Aziz]

HC110 and Rodinal always one shot made from the syrup.

 

[Sirius Glass]

XTOL full strength and Costco

 

[coriana6jp]

Pyrocat-HD for nearly everything, though some roll fim in Perceptol.

Pyrocat MC, Harvey's 777, Rodinal, Diafine and FX-37 in that order. Pyrocat MC for TMY, Harvey's for HP5+ and Plus-X, Rodinal for APX and Diafine and FX-37 when i need the speed with any film.
