What film developer is your favorite and why ?

[Alpsman]

I started with Promicrol, a recommendation of my dealer.
When Promicrol was no longer available I changed to Tetenal Ultrafin.
After Tetenal ceased production I used Ilfosol 3.

Now I use Ilsosol 3 or Rollei Supergrain, whatever is available at my dealer.
Whit each of those developer I got images on my film stripes.

These days I like to use Moersch EFD with Delta 400. High accutance, still sharp but fine grain thanks to the Delta's characteristics and good shadow-detail, can be rated up to 640 ASA without pushing, just by a little less dilution.

In the 1990s, I loved the first version of Delta 400 at 250 or 500 in Xtol. EFD is very similar as a dimezone-s ascorbate developer.

Leica M6, 50mm Summicron.
Another with Delta 400 in lc29 @1:29, these days I prefer Delta 400 to Tri-x ever since they altered Tri-x and it just doesn't look right to me.
