How would describe it's effect and color on the print and where can you buy it? I'm not sure I want to anyhow, I use a selenium for increasing D-max without significant color changes . (I can't resist this one) Is this how you achieve the Leica "glow" with your Contax TVS? Still chuckling, Duane Birkey
