I'd like to standardize on a film developer for Ziatype and PT/PD enviromental portraiture and to that end have been perusing the FD Cookbook for ideas. I'd appreciate some feedback from those that have used different developers for alt portraiture and their impressions. Specifically, does it make any sense at all to go with Pyro, or maybe Wd2d+ for my purpose over say something like Xtol (safer), D76H or something else. For film I'd like to stick with a 400 speed, but HP5+ doesn't do it for me and I have been thinking of maybe going with TMY after my current Delta 400 runs out. I'll be contacting 4x5's till I get the hang of enlarging negatives with BPFB-18 to 8x10's.
