Paul,

Thanks for sharing your findings. My previous experience (several
years ago) with TP were with Rodinal (maybe not the best choice for
scanning) and FG-7 plus Sodium Sulfite with which I was able to get
better tonality than Rodinal.

Maybe I should take a look at TP with Technidol.

Cheers,
Andre
