PMK Pyro

[sean_fitzgerald1]

Hello. I've recently been recommended to try out PMK Pyro developer

for b&w film. I've tried looking on the internet, but... there is

not an entirely large amount of information (that I could find)

about it. Is there anyone who can tell me anything about it? Im

going to be using it to replace d-76. Everything I have read in the

internet about it however, is very positive. So anyone, please, and

thanks! :)

I have a lengthy article on my web site entitled <a href=http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Developers/developers.html> Mixing Developers</a> that speaks briefly about PMK and and its properties. I also give the formula on my formulas page, and developing times for most films.

 

Now that the forums have been moved, you should be able to search the Film & Processing forum for information on PMK, as it has been widely discussed.

Hey, Thanks Ed! That was helpful. =)

Sean,

 

You might want to buy Gordon Hutching's own book on the use of his PMK pyro formula. I found it very useful and informative.

Ditto to the post above. Get "The Book of Pyro" by Gordon

Hutchings. It will tell you everything you ever wanted to know

about this developer, written by the guy who invented this

formula. Go to: http://www.photoformulary.com/ and pick it up.

Better yet, you can buy PMK and the book in a bundle from them

and save some dough.
