Digital BW, The Print

I used Pyro PMK for years with 8X10 sheet film and would often 
shoot two negatives of each image.  I would process one in Pyro 
and one in D-76 or HC110.  I could never tell the difference once 
I contact printed them.  I kept using the pyro anyway because I 
thought that Gordon Hutchins must be right even though I 
couldn't tell the difference.  Just like the emporer's new clothes, 
Now that I have returned to my old suit of clothes, I feel much 
more comfortable.

   I jumped in on this discussion late, but I want to tell folks not to 
spend the money on such a toxic substance.  If you are using 
35mm film, the only difference you'll see is that it is grainier.
