Better tones and better grain FOR WHOM? The local Kamera Klub Koffee
Klatch kontest kliches?

No, for you.


If so, no thanks. I'll use D-76 or even DK-50 when I need a "fine grain"
developer.

Acutol give better speed, better tonality, finer grain, and better
sharpness than Acutol. It is NOT a solvent developer.

If you choose Rodinal instead, you're making a mistake. It's inferior
on all measures to Acutol.

Do you have ANY experience with these developers? I doubt it.

Ok I'll try it, I'll use Ilford Delta 100 sheet film.
68F in a rotary drum on my Jobo.

I'll do the comparison between Acutol and "Rodinol 1+100" if Acutol
is truly better in any way I'll admit it. You can suggest any time for
the process you like but I am quite capable of running my own field
tests and will do so.

With sheet film? & If I don't like it better than Rodinal 1+100 can I
publicly flog you for wasting my time, film and money?

Why yes, of course! Please note that dilution may need to be increased
if you're using a rotary machine. Let me know, before you start, what
film you'll be trying with it.

No, for you.

But Mike, I sometimes LIKE grain! Ralph Gibson's overdeveloped Rodinal
negs would be not as singular.

Decades of experience with D-76, usually 1:1. Moderate experience with
Rodinal and DK-50.

But to partly appease you, should I ever buy a Minox, I promise I'll try
Acutol. I'm a camera collector with too many untried toys: for the past
two years I've had a beautiful 5x7 "Compact" (ha!) Graflex, holders and
film; I've got a couple of exposed holders, so that's my next project.
D-76 1:1 or Rodinal should work fine for 5x7" contact prints.
