Microdol X :-)  No, was only kidding....I spent years trying to squeeze 
the best quality out of 35mm. Best meaning good tones, not much grain 
and tack sharp. For that, D-76 1:1...Now, when it's only for fun Rodinal 
(1:50)seems to love that grainy texture. Of course it helps to have 
large expanses of solid tones and overexpose a bit. Also, Photoshop can 
make Velvia look like 800 ISO  Wal-Mart color.

Thanks for the nice comments and I you will always be welcome in Florida.
