Richard This is not my experience unless we have a different interpretation of 'little'. The curves are far from parallel when I use MGIV FB in Dektol 1+2 and the contrast variation is more than 1/2 grade. Contrast increases with development time significantly. Also, Dmax is reached rather quickly. A print developed for 2-3 minutes is just as developed out as a print developed for 8 minutes as far as the blacks are concerned. However, they have quite a different contrast. Regards Ralph W.
