I've read the article at http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Harvey/harvey.html about Harvey's 777 developer and it looks interesting. The article doesn't go into great detail about what the images look like. Since it contains p-phenelyne diamine how is the sharpness of the negs developed in this soup? Also, what kind of shadow detail do you get, and what speed do you rate your Tri-X? Finally, what do you like about it? Any particular problems? I like to mix my own chemicals, but this requires a few that I don't ordinarily stock.
