For any who have not used it, it is truly remarkable. It competes with 4x5 up to 11 x 14" and sometimes beyond. As several writers mentioned, you will need to live with it for awhile. It seems to do best in POTA, 1.5 gr Phenidone, 30 gr sodium sulfite with 1000 cc water - mix and use immediately, then discard. As an excellent alternative, Agfa Rodinal at 100 to 1 dilution...6 minutes at 68 deg. for condenser enlargers...9 minutes at 68 deg for diffusion or cold light. Depending on subject's contrast, you may need VC paper with 0-1 filtration.
