Straight Microdol is 125 gms of sulfite making it the softest (not
sharp) developer money can buy!!
A heck of a lot a silver gets dissolved and down the drain leaving very
mushy what's left of grain.
Not ideal for 35mm, Leica lenses, or just about anything.
If it were 8x10 sheet film it might not make a hell of a lot of difference.
