Tried out the 510-Pyro which Mike Currie kindly sent to me. A couple of neg scans attached.
My first impressions are a little mixed but that may be partly due to what I did.
I developed two different films together, Acros EI 40 and Delta 3200 EI 1000.
1+100 @ 20degC 6 minutes with 1 min agitation then 3 inversions every minute.
First mistake may have been using acetic acid stop bath at 1.5%. There is barely a hint of stain in either film.
The acros is well developed and scans fine. Negs look sharp with fine grain.
It was intended to be developed in HC110 but since they weren't important negs, I decided to put it in with the Delta 3200. The image of camera is the acros with a little manipulation as my scanner and scan technique are not brilliant. Largely due to fact I absolutely hate scanning film.
The Delta 3200 was a disappointment. Only a hint of stain and the negs are very thin. The zone test I did, gave film speed around 250-500. I think it needs significantly more development with this developer which surprised me.
Grain was obviously more apparent than in the acros but not too bad.
Scanning the Delta 3200 was tricky because they were so thin. The light was very flat at dusk and a fair amount of manipulation was required to get it to the state you see it in.
