Been there , had horrible results , went back to r09.

I honestly think there is no magic developer, magic processing temp or time .

ro9 is all I have used for 7 years.

The PHD just arrived. Now I have to try it!

For this year's Pinhole Day, I converted my Kodak Master View 8x10 to a pinhole!

Kodak Master 8x10 camera, fitted with a 0.46mm pinhole, at 120mm focal length.
30"sec exposure on 18x24 Agfa HDR xray film.
Developed in Ilford MG 1+50 for 8'min in a glass plated tray.
Scan from negative, finished in PS.

Great pinhole image!

I've participated in Pinhole Day in the past. No time this year!

I have read Sandy King many times. I will try Pyrocat HD Liguid glycol from Photograghers Formulary.

I deduce from Sandy King's testing that Pyrocat HD may be good for Azo and Ilford Multigrade paper. The stain may work differently on each and perhaps in X-Rays favor.

I ordered some today.

I use Pyrocat-HD with x-ray. 10ml each A and B into 1 litre of water. Flat-bottomed tray, agitated NSEW once every minute. Been doing it this way for 10 years. The same negative prints nicely on silver papers, as well as kallitype, and carbon transfer.

Thanks, Andrew, that is my interest.

And a stack of Azo 8X10.

Andrew, interesting. 10ml of A&B. How long is your developing time for a carbon negative?

8x10 Kodak CSG, 1:100 R09, rotary development for 15 minutes

Nice!

Sergei, it seems you have extended your R09 times?

Looks very good.
