Response to Feedback on Zone VI film developer

Typically, thin emulsion films are higher in contrast (Tech Pan) and for pictorial results a very low contrast developer is used... ie Pota, Technidol ect. I would pressume that the Zone VI is the same. High Acutance is the sharpening of the outer edges of the grain rendering a "sharper" look to the print. Some people like it, some don't. I like it for some things. If you are familiar with Photoshop, it is like using your unsharp filter in a sense. To answer your question, yes it can be used for your films and it is wise starting out to keep things simple. Calumet carries the Zone VI stuff as I recall.
