Thanks. How does it differ from your expectations of Fomatone? This was my first time using the Arista lith developer and the colors were definitely less orange than with LD20. Also, my scanner turns these more brown than they are in person. They have a bit more orange to them in the actual print.
Fomatone has given me deep blacks (although not completely pitch black, just a tad off) with a greenish tint. Highlights have worked out to either a golden honey hue when the developer is fresh to an orange almost peach tone, and more so as the developer gets exhausted. I also get more color when I expose longer. Both with Fotospeed LD-20 and AristaLith.
Hope that helps.
