That's a fine print, Bert. I have to ask how you got that tone with Fomatone in lith. What's your secret?

Thanks! Thomas: The secret recept was Moersch SES 5 1:20 + a shot C+D. Long exposure/short developing. Not a realy lith but I llike it for the skin.

Thanks for the clarification, Bert! I've had various results with Fomatone and the AristaLith that I use. I have a few negs with really high contrast. If I expose that for a long time, and use my standard dilution/temp/agitation, I usually get pretty plain color rendition when the chemistry is fresh and it only works on the first and second print. As the chemistry exhausts I get more color. But I get finer grain by exposing for long and developing shorter times in strong chemistry. I'm going to try two-bath soon with one weak and one strong solution.
