Either of these developers can look like anything depending on dilution and also in the case of Fg7 if you add sulfite or not! (a big mistake in my opinion. As is using it at lower dilutions such as 1:3. The dilution is almost more important than the choice of developer itself. My preference on the look of these developers would purely depend on which one was diluted the most. I have a slight pref for Elon/Metol developers like D76 over Phenidone Fg7 and use D76 at 1:2 instead of 1:1 for a much sharper look at the expense of some grain. But when used straight D76 is mush. Just about as bad ad Fg7 at 1:3. MUSH I say! http://www.freestylephoto.biz/pdf/Edwal_FG7.pdf mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Alan Magayne-Roshak <amr3@uwm.edu> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:41:32 -0500 (CDT) > To: <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Img: Afternoon sun UV/IR > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Leonard Taupier <len-1@comcast.net> > >> Hi Alan, > >> Your HIE shots are very low grain.
