FX-1 acutance

Example from the above. Although it produces nice, sharp negatives as evidenced by the branches, I see nothing here that is done any better than D-23 1+14 + 0.5g/l lye I have been using as an acutance developer.

Errrr - that should have been no better than D-23 1+9 plus 0.5g/l lye. The 1+14 is how Creepy Crawley gets cooked up and I got confusified ...

Thanks @chuckroast for doing this test and sharing your result and opinion. Much appreciated.

D-23 1+9 with Lye and D-76 1+9 with Lye are both great for acutance.
