This issue of the Viewfinder see that Tom Abrahamsson had gone back to
Beutlers. At least for one story. I'd not forget that one. A basic classic.
And hard to beat. I'm going back to Beutlers myself.

Beutlers cant be beat.

Elon/Metol fights for you.
Builds bodies twelve ways.

Almost no sulfite what so ever. Its not a dilute solvent developer. Its a
true high acutance developer. Which should be a league above even Rodinal.
