Response to Acros Neopan 100...Rodinal or Xtol

Why not combine them? In the "Appreciating Rodinal" discussion on the Unblinking Eye webpage, Sam Elkind talks about a blend of the two generating a nice midpoint between the grainlessness of Xtol and the sharpness of Rodinal. I just tried it on Acros -- 15 min. @ 20 degrees C -- and the negatives loook extremely sharp but not as "brittle" as T-Max. Probably 10-15% less time would have been better. My enlarger is in limbo at the moment, so I haven't printed them, but the negatives look very promising.
