Default Acutol.

Years ago, the literature for Acutol mentioned the inclusion of Hydroquinone
and Metol, in the "Film Developing Cook Book" by Steve Anchell & Bill Troop,
it mentions Phenidone. Now I`m confused by this statement, is Acutol MQ, PQ
or MPQ?

Isn't there a distinction between Acutol and Acutol S in Anchell?

In terms of developer components, `perhaps` which is what I would like
clarified. Acutol-S was designed as an alternative to D-76/ID-11 and
Microphen, Acutol is non-solvent and designed for high definition with films
in the ISO 25 to 200 speed group although some use it with success in for
higher speed group films.
I never liked Acutol-S very much ( I prefered D-76) but like Acutol.
Thanks for replying.

Acutol-S and Acutol are totally different products. The former was a
powdered solvent developer; the latter is a liquid acutance developer.
The formulas are nothing alike.
