Response to Pyro - Tears

I'm happy to find other photographers getting involved with PMK. I've been a 'convert' since 1992 when Gordon first published the formula. My early results were variable, due mainly to inconsistent time/temperature control in the darkroom. After I acquired a compensating developing timer, I could develop my sheet film in trays without the warming of the developer by my hands affecting the process! Thank you, Zone VI! Gordon Hutchings has placed absolutely no restrictions on publishing or using this indespensible formula. In fact, he wants to see as many as possible using PMK; this way the quality of photography can be improved. I believe we will, if we live long enough, see a distinct change in the 'history' of photographic images: Before PMK and After PMK. Unless digital gets good enough to eclipse silver images developed in PMK.
