In this video, I take a closer look at Jay DeFehr's 510-Pyro #510pyro, comparing it with my tried and true, Pyrocat-HD. I take a look at a few questions about this developer, and tackle the age old question: Are Alkaline based fixers okay to use with staining developers such as 510-Pyro. The film used for all the tests was 4x5 HP5.
