My friend Eric *&*@^* asked about me getting him all excited about Xtol
and now this.....

The fact is that the developers on that list at the bottom, the 4th category;
Are really not the most sharpest developers out there.
Nor the second sharpest, nor the third.

But They are not so terribly unsharp. 

But are they Zeiss/Leica sharp from the chemical end?
No they may be Tamron/Nikon/Sigma sharp! :)

I propose we consider how our shots would look with sharper if that the
sharpest juice instead of all around juice.
It just would probably mean getting a scale though.

Back to Beutlers!
(sorry about using the word "sharp." I should prably use the word
"Acutance" or and a few others i can't think of)
