I typically only use T-max 100/400 for myself, but up until recently I have
had all kinds of film thrown at me from clients thus requiring 'research'.
I've wanted to try some other flavors of pyrocat but haven't gotten around
to it. Until recently, I was one of the few places that could provide that
kind of processing commercially. Now I'm moving and will only be doing it
for myself.

My only experience is with Pyrocat-MC and Fuji Neopan 100. Which film are
you using?

Hi Eric,
I know I'm almost nobody here since I rarely post to the list but I try to
keep up to date by reading many if not all of other's messages.
Pyrocat HD is not something that made me an expert but I do have now a nice
amount of film processed with this developer. It is a wonder, indeed.
Massive development Chart usually is a good starting point, what I've found
out is that those times are a bit short to me so I just add about 15 to 20%
BUT what I also do is to rate film by half the nominal speed, yes, I like
contrast and density and though I might well abuse the wellness of Pyrocat
HD in what respects to non blocking highlights... this seems to work well
for me for printing on silver, scanning and not as often making
platinum/palladium prints as well.
So that development times at www.pyrocat-hd.com.... site look reasonable to
me except for that of the film speed change, I set my meter at half the film
speed for all of films out there: my vice ?
Cheers
Pablo

One thing about pyrocat hd is that there's no one authoritative listing of
times/temps/dilutions for this developer. When I found myself AGAIN
spending a 1/2 hour googling for times for a film I'd never developed
before, I made the suggestion at the http://www.pyrocat-hd.com site that
their's would be the best place to list whatever times Sandy had as I'd find
those more believable than ones found on the Massive Development Chart or
some forum as we don't know who came up with those times, if they were rank
amateurs, or just some prankster inputting any ol' thing.
pyrocat-hd.com has responded with this starter page.
