To your knowledge, Sil, when the Formulary description for FX-2 talks about
''internal effects," and "less acuatence" than FX-1, what is it they refer
to, in terms of results perceived on the print and in the negative?

Their descriptions of the two developer formulas include fine grain and high
acuatence for both.
