New wonder developer for black and white apparently. Be surprised but still might be worth a play
Spursinn HCD 2+S is a unique and special 2 part developer and allows for massive flexibility in your chosen black and white film's exposure speed.
Incredible results are obtained when exposing films at a huge range of different exposure ISO - it is possible to select your ISO based on conditions and develop accordingly, but to a much wider range than with other developers. Films such as Ilford HP5 or Kodak Tri-X offer massive potential and good results are obtained when exposing at any speed from 25-25600 ASA - there are even times supplied (tested by the manufacturer) for exposing Tri-X at ISO 51200!
HCD is supplied in two parts and with a comprehensive booklet explaining how to use the developer and with development times for virtually every black and white film on the market! Expected grain levels categorised for easy reference.
