Which is the best pyro for MF Jobo processing?


I lied. That was the only time I've heard of this issue. Mix from scratch is the safe option.
 
Now that I purchased Pyrocat-HD in Gylcol Film Developer I am not finding development time, temperature and film speed information for Kodak Tri-X 400 in 120, Ilford Delta 3200 in 120, Rollei Infrared 400 in 120. References? Sources? Recommendations? Please.
 


After having 'tried' them all.... I'm now 'stuck' with Pyrocat HD for all my sheet film developing. There is minimal to no obvious 'stain'
But I am sure I'm getting 'sharper grain'. (I also use only BTZS tubes and 'rotary' development.. no more hangers in tank or tray development that I had been using for some 40+ years
I mix mine from 'scratch' using a somewhat archaic three-beam balance' and distilled water

Since I 'found' Pyrocat HD, (about 10 or so years ago) it is now the ONLY film developer 'allowed' in my darkroom.. for any and ALL large format BW negatives (developed in BTZS tubes).
Might I suggest that you check out Dr. Sandy KIng's web site for all the information you are likely to 'need". I use an archaic three-beam balance for measuring out the required amount of 'raw chemical' for dissolving in distilled water.

Success I developed 120 Tri-X in Pyrocat HD in Glycol in a Jobo processor using 9 minutes @ 70 degrees.

Awesome! You will love both printing and scanning PyroCat-HD negs.

Yes I will enjoy using my enlarger to print the negatives. Now to find the developing time for Ilford Delta 32000 in 120 at ISO 32000.
