Just curious why you think D-11 is a better choice than D-19. I have
had some success with D-19 with low contrast films and wonder what
improvements I would find with D-11. Is it merely that D-11 it will
develop higher contrast, or is D-11 also better for some other
reason, such as keeping fog levels down?
