There are a lot of folks that post here who closely followed the writings of Fred Picker from Zone VI studios. Of course, there are a lot of folks here who didn't like his photography and didn't like his methods either.
Nevertheless, it seems, from what I have read, that he pretty much stuck with the same developer and film combination throughout most of his career. I have not seen anything written by him about D-23, but then I don't profess to have read everything he wrote.
Since so many folks like D-23 and are able to point out objective reasons why it is "better" than other developers, I wonder why he didn't like it.
Which leads to the question. Why is D-23 "better" (objectively) that what he used, which was, I believe, HC-110?
