Re: What about Acufine?

[Magnus Slayde <magnus13@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I love acufine, only recently could I get it at the local photo supply,
before I ahd to travel 35 miles into the city of Houston to get the stuff,
try shooting KODAK TRI-X at 1000 asa/iso and develop in acufine, incredbily
fine grain photos with slightly higher than normal contrast.
