Subject: [Leica] TMZ exposure index

The question:
As noted TMZ at EI1000 produces good greyscale linearity, which developer
was used for the TZM shot at EI1000? does the linearity remain similarly
constant when TMZ is shot at EI800? At EI800 does the film start to lose
dynamics?
The answer:
The developer for the EI1000 exposure is: aculux-2 a modern fine grain
developer comparable to xtol, but a tiny bit sharper and a tiny bit more
greyscale.
Yes, same linearity. No the difference between 1000 and 800 is just a bit
more shadow density.
