Alan, Yes to the 2+ grade filter and FASTER than non filter. The exact grade
would depend on many variables of your enlarger. I use a 2X  for general
rule of thumb. These are the types of problem sets I don't see a need to
work too hard on. With the highs and lows moving in the gray landscape, one
still needs to make adjustments on a more intuitive basis later so I don't
see the need for precision there.

I though that I had read using no filters with Ilford Multigrade IV papers
was equivalent to using the #3 filter.  Should this be the case what would
be the difference in the f stop?  Should this not be the case what would the
resulting print compare to 2-4?
