In running through playing with these I can get good images with all of them, LR seems best simply rendering what I saw when I tripped the shutter. What it doesn't seem to do very well is deal with the noise in the high ISO 1250/2500 images. Other's did a lot better (BibblePro and SilkyPix seem best). Playing with these developers is a lot less smelly than trying to figure out D76 or Dektol mixes! c.
