OK, theoretically speaking...
Would there be any advantage to using a two-bath film development process, where the first bath would be a silver-solvent developer, i.e. Microdol-X, to reduce grain size....and the second bath to be an acutance developer, i.e. Rodinal, to sharpen the edges of the mushy smaller grain?
(Water bath in-between, probably, to minimize cross-contamination.)
I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, but wondering what the Prodigious Panel of Experts here have to say about it...
