Response to Acutol

I have tried Acutol and it works good with lower speed films like Efke R25 and R50. I haven't tried it with Agfa films though. I also like Aculux 2. It gives VERY fine grain with higher speed films like Tri-X. I once shot Tri-X at 250 Asa and developed it in Aculux 2 and showed the results to a portrait photographer and he thought that I must have used Plus-X and not Tri-X. :-))

I think Acutol can work good with APX films, but I would use Rodinal instead, diluted 1+50 and at little shorter times than Agfa recommends.
