I've thought about dilution changes but had not done that yet. I'll try that as well. I've had nothing but good out of DDX with several films, D100 in particular - just beautiful. Now that I bought all this Diafine and DiXactol I gotta use it! I'm using a condenser enlarger too, but as much I want a neg that will fit the dynamic range of my Polaroid 4000. Henry
