You can develop lith film in varied dilutions of Dektol to get more or
less full tone negs. I suggest you write to James Luciana @ P.O. Box
330, Salisbury Mills, NY 12577 and ask for his Platinum/Palladium
Printing info pamphlet in which he explains this dev. I works pretty
well and is lots cheaper, but I don't think it works as well as other
full tone films.
