Response to Diafine for film developer

It is a GREAT developer. I've been using it for about 25 years. I love the high acutance for my 4x5 stuff. Couldn't be easier with TXP. I shoot TXP @ 400 and have excellent negs with my cold light. They just glow. Coupled with LPD print developer... a thing of beauty! I also use Divided D76 also. The only thing different is that DD76 seems to be a finer grain but not as high acutance. Side by side they look great but if you want the added snap, definitely use Diafine!!! It is one of those developers that have been around for a LONG time (unchanged) but is a "quiet" one.
