I like FP4, stand developed. Highlights are well retained; gradations are smooth and shadow retain good detail. Pyro developer works as does diXactol Ultra (now available throught Photographer's Formulary [I have no financial interest in this company; I just am glad they are making it]). My EI is 80 for N developing.
