Actually, that statement should be modified... if you get way up toward
D-Max of the film, contrast does change according to strength of farmer's.
I haven't hauled out the old file to check, but as I recall, at least past
log 2.0. This may have had some meaning when Farmer's was invented, and
negs were very dense, also for such as salt-print negs today, but AFAIK we
rarely use them past 2.0 (at the outside).
