I'm going to start shooting tri-x 320 4x5 sheets. I was planning on developing them in D-76 or X-tol, but lately I've been reading more about this Pyro PMX developer which stains the negative, and is supposedley better for printing. First of all, I develop in tanks, using hangers for my 4x5 film. I have a diffused enlarger light source. I'm shooting primarily landscape and arcitecture, subjects which demand great sharpness and detail. My quesiton is, should I bother with trying the Pyro developer? Or should I just stick with D-76 or X-tol? And if so, which produces sharper negatives, D-76 or X-tol? Thanks!
