Hello !
Bromophen IS my developer of choice;
I like cold tone. And, often, one finds only warm papers. Even with
other cold tone dev, they are warm.
With Bromophen they're not. And if you really like sharp frozen tones,
try it undiluted ! A razor.
It is cheap, and you can keep it undiluted for a long time if you use
full to the brim bottle to store it.
In short, a must have in every darkroom.
