I'm starting to experiment with pyrocat-HD for stand development and I was wondering what other people were coming up with. I have searched pretty thoroughly, I think, and there's a lot of questions but surprisingly few good answers.
Here's what I'm doing so far and it seems to be working pretty well. I am doing this with fomapan 200. I start with a 5 minute water bath to saturate the emulsion and remove the green backing. The developer is mixed 1.5:1:100 per a recommendation I read from Sandy some time ago that the extra part A helps cut down on oxidation. I agitate for the first 30 seconds, and then develop for 54 minutes with 10 second agitations after 18 minutes and 36 minutes.
I may go up to 60 minutes but I don't know if that would make much difference.
Anybody have a time to start with to do this with delta 100? I wonder if it will be as forgiving as the foma has been.
