The tonality is very nice. If I have to choose one over the other, I'll take tonality over acutance in portraiture. Yet everything in this shot that's in focus looks plenty sharp to me.

I wasn't expecting to get such little grain that it couldn't really even be called "grain". I'm thinking that it might be a good people film/dev combination, but a terrible landscape combination. There doesn't seem to be a lot of sharpness anywhere (but I was shooting wide open indoors under horrific lighting conditions with no ambient light and a big window to our right side). http://www.400tx.com/george.html I'm ambivalent on it. The sheer simplicity of D-23 (two powders) makes me want to explore it a bit more, at least under some different conditions. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com
