Re: Van Dyke and Kallitype
Don, will you explain a bit about your gold additive in the VDB senzitizer and what effect you get? How much gold you added to the solution? Maybe you have some examples you can put them on the web? Thanks for the answers!

Right now I'm looking at two VDB prints on my office wall with excellent DMAX, midtones, and highlight gradation. Using TMAX 400 and PyroCat-HD making negatives for VDB is pretty easy. Just as an FYI these prints are partially gold toned and have a gold additive in the sensitizer. But to say that DMAX for VDB sucks doesn't match my experience. And I do double coat.
