Review: Great developer - Excellent for modern T grain emulsions but excels with minimising grain in class films. Expensive and doesn’t go far but this is top shelf developer for those special rolls/paid shoots that require the best development possible.
Review: You get what you pay for... - This is without doubt the most versatile developer out there, it literally works with any film, I've pushed HP5 to ISO1600 and got great results, and I've shot Rollei Ortho 25 at box speed and had beautiful results too. It isn't cheap but the best costs, and you can find recipes for 1:9 which work well, if you don't mind the increased development times, so it can be used economically. I generally just use it at 1:4 because it's so consistent and I know what I'm getting. Ilford state that it will give you great negatives for printing, with an excellent range of tones, and I can definitely confirm that this is true, its reputation is well deserved.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: About how many rolls can be developed with one bottle?**
A: The developer is delivered as a concentrated liquid. It can be used in a dilution as weak as 1:9. It has been my habit to use 1:4 dilution with the most consistent results. It is an excellent an long living product. It is somewhat expensive. I have always been more interested in quality consistent results. DDX delivers.
