I recently gave 510 Pyro developer a try with Ilford H5+ and D-100. While I still want to evaluate further, my initial impression is positive. There was an exception. On one sheet of D-100 I rated at ISO 50 and reduced development time by 20%. It was a high contrast scene with some backlighting on some trees, early morning. I was hoping to reduce overall contrast. The result was an awful failure. Maybe my approach to an N-1 development was off or 510 Pyro was not best choice for the film and development method. Then again, maybe the scene simply had too much contrast. Anyway, would be interested if anyone has any thoughts on 510 Pyro and or the process I described.
Thanks in advance
