Erwin: now that you have established that D100 is the best 35 mm black and white silver based film (in your opinion, and btw, in mine too), which developer is then the best for D100, again in your opinion. And, do you think it is necessary to use several developer; e.g.,. one for portraits, one for cats and one for architecture? If so, then why. My impression of you is that what you do is based on logic and reasoning. What then, led you to use DD-X? I haven't even considered using it because the smallest pack costs twice as much as a 5 liter pack of Xtol or a half liter bottle of Rodinal. Come to think of it, this is probably an illogical way to reason. So how did you arrive at your decision? Looking forward to seeing you at Photokina, Chris PS Do you agree that the best way to improve the performance of D100 is to use a tripod? - -- Christer Almqvist D-20255 Hamburg, Germany and/or F-50590 Regnéville-sur-Mer, France
