[pure-silver] Re: Developer choices for Ilford FP4+

I use Ilfotec HC @ 1:31. I normally rate it at 80. If the trip is a rare and
a once in a great while trip, you may want to at least test another roll
first before trying a new developer, but I really don't think that unless
you step into a radical change that extreme caution is called for. D 76 is
no safer than HC110 or Ilfotec HC, or... many other tried and true
combinations. Some that require a big shift in film speed should be avoided;
like pyro unless you have great understanding of it with other films.
