RE: VDB

[Loris Medici <mail@loris.medici.name>]

Double coated is more punchy - better looking (to me) because of
stronger Dmax... Since gold toning (before fixing) increase Dmax, single
coating + gold toning is fine (for me) too.

In fact, I no-more double coat -> I prefer the extra protection I get
with gold toning, and the results are equally punchy / strong. Since
gold is relatively cheap in my location I'm not complaining.

Regards,
Loris.

How do the single and double coated VDB look different?
