DS-10 has rather high fog, but the fog is about comparable to D-76 or XTOL with films I tried. I have some test films that were developed with Phenidone in DS-10, so let me check if they have any higher fog than Dimezone S. -- Ryuji Suzuki "Keep a good head and always carry a light camera." ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
