Sharpest Grainest Developer...

[ChrisP]

Sharpest Grainiest Developer thats not Rodinal. Whats the sharpest grainest developer that either freestyle or B&H will ship to Canada? And hopefullly it has the 87 year shelf like of Rodinal too.

I need something to compliment X-tol. I'll use X-tol for pushing (which is how most of my film is developed) and something else for more normal daylight situations and I love grain, but no one ships Rodinal to Canada. What is the next best option (other than buy it in Canada...)

If you want grain then try delta 3200 in 135 format and Microphen stock 9.5 mins @ 20degC. It'll give you 3200 speed too.

Henrys won't ship Blazinal to you ?

Henry's will but theres nothing else worth buying in Canada at the moment (unless they adopt 2/$5 hp5+), so it doesn't seem worth it to just get rodinal shipped here... $25 for 500ml). It might be the best option though

ilford 3200 is always beautfully grainy, no matter what developer, if only they would have a 2/$5 sale on it...

shipping can't be that much is it ? might be worthwhile stocking up maybe ?
