Lotus/BRG 200 is looking very good in my tests as well, which will be
written up for PT sometime soon.
I've gotten good results in PMK, in "rollo pyro" (ascorbic acid/pyro
formula specifically for rotary processing) and in plain 'ol HC110B.
Very wide range of development responses, very thin fb+f, and a strong
pyro response--that is, relatively low silver density and high stain
density, which is what you are looking for if you want the pyro
response. I've gotten good results in Ziatype and traditional
develop-out Pt/Pd. Especially good shadow separation and ability to
render close-value textures in subjects---Carl
