Edward ★★★★★

Finally, a developer that gives me the fine grain I was hoping for without losing sharpness. The powder dissolved cleanly with no clumps, which made mixing up a liter straightforward.

Aurora ★★★★★

I’ve developed a few rolls of HP5+ with this powder, and the fine grain really lets you see every detail in the shadows. Mixing the entire packet for one liter was straightforward, and the negatives came out with nice crisp edges. It’s become my go-to for classic black-and-white shots.

Grace ★★★★★

The powder dissolved without any clumps, and the resulting solution developed my rolls with noticeably finer grain than the liquid developer I'd been using. I'm impressed with how sharp the negatives came out, even with Tri-X pushed a stop.
