Response to Diafine?

I have used this one as well as DD76 for years. Diafine has the acutance of say, Rodinal (really nice sharp edges) and extremely fine grain. APX has a glow and I liked Pan F with it also. I shot them at ASA speed and got beautiful neg. both in roll and 4x5! It keeps the contrast down which is inherent with Pan F. You won't get to much of an increase of speed but your shadow detail will be there! I say get the gallon mix and do a roll in Diafine and another roll of the same setup with your favorite soup and then pull prints from each... you might be a convert!!! Cheers
