Anyone else use this? I've tried both formulations, not sure if I can see the difference between them but I love being able to develop any film together as I'm quite a one for mixing films up. It's a staining pyrocat type developer and I've been using the semi-stand time of 10m30s with a whole range of film types - from HP5+, through Acros 100, PanF+, Neopan 400, Tri-X, CHS50 and Tmax400 - (120, 35mm and 4x5) - all with really good results.
It handles contrasty and non-contrasty scenes well, the film latitude is wide, and you get lovely, lovely tones with it.
Any other users out there in RFF land?

Haven't used it yet, but I've got some that I need to mix up. It looks like a very interesting developer.

It's a great developer. I used to use it a lot and never had a problem with it with a variety of films (worked well with Delta and Acros as I recall). The only awkward part was getting the alkaline stop, but I think just using water is OK.

This is my go to developer these days. Easy to mix, foolproof & reliable results.
Added to that, Peter is a top bloke, and is always helpful for advice.

It is a great developer (Prescysol EF), as long as you don't need to enhance speed - in fact it reduces the speed of most films, and as long as you don't want to see dark skies - for whatever reason they always turn out white, even when using a red filter.
