It seems like it is a good thing to try other dilution though. I don't mean
to "advertise" LC-1, but if the original difficulty is being too contrasty,
it seems like 2:3:5 is too low in contrast, so we are getting there. :-)
I would suggest trying 2:0:8 (that is, if you are still interested in using
LC-1 for it). 2:0:8 is the no bisulfite version. I think between that and
2:3:5 we will find a good dilution for it. In fact, the original idea when I
developed the developer is that the alkalinity can be adjusted for different
films.
