Bob, In what context are you using the word soft?

DEAR HTH, Did the T-max 100 in Pyrocat at least have good acutance? Or HD (high definition) as Sandy calls it? Though it seems there is often a trade off between grain and acutance, can you recommend a high acutance developer that doesn't produce too much grain with T-max 100? I find that, with my Leica and Leitz lens that perform VERY well with other film/developer combinations, though 35 mm T-max 100 is fine grain and yields fine detail it simply looks soft. CHEERS!

F in a 16 or 32 oz.SS tank. This printed well on VC paper with a #2 MG filter so all further were using this time, temp., dil. ISO 100. Agitation for all was 30 sec. initial, 10 sec. every 2 min. thereafter. Good negs but grainier than others and no other benefit. I thought I remember reading that Mr. King developed this formula for negs that could be printed in either silver or pt./pd.
