+## Long Term Findings As Of 12-19-2023
+
+With the benefit of several years experience behind me at this point,
+I took the time to critically review many silver prints made from
+negatives developed either with semistand or EMA.  Not all of these
+were great images, but they were products of many experiements
+with film, developer, agitation, and dilution:
+
+* Semistand works well for most normal and even short SBR scenes
+
+* EMA is indicated when you have very flat mid-tone contrast, but
+  using it for normal SBRs can crank up the contrast in ways I do not
+  love, so it needs to be applied with restraint.  Even in flat
+  lighting, too much agitation or not enough dilution can *really*
+  crank up mid-tone contrast in unpleasant (to me, anyway) ways.
+
+* *You Can Overdo A Good Thing Part 1*: Using EMA on highly textured
+  subjects can lead to a kind of gritty graphics art look that might
+  be an interesting aesthetic for some things but is overkill for
+  most.
+
+* *You Can Overdo A Good Thing Part 2*: High dilution does enhance
+  sharpness but it does so at the expense of visible grain.  This is
+  not an issue for large format, and - depending on film - can be
+  managed for rollfilm, but it's a killer for 35mm (unless you like
+  that "sandy" Rodinal look).
+
+* Long SBRs present a challenge.  If you develop conventionally using
+  N- discipline, you'll hold the whole dynamic range, but almost
+  always at the expense of contracting mid-tone contrast.  You can use
+  semistand or even EMA to both hold down the highlights and keep
+  mid-tone contrast where it should be, BUT, you have to dilute more
+  for this to work properly on the highlights.  This can cause he
+  aforementioned grain visiblity problem.  This is a place where
+  Pyrocat-HD is quite helpful because the stain helps to mask grain
+  visibility.
+
+  There are alternatives here that I have yet to explore: SLIMT, two
+  bath, and highly compensating developers all leap to mind.
