Has anyone tried adding rodinal to potassium iodide? The main difference between Beutler's high acutance developer and FX-1 is potassium iodide, which means that it is the cause of the increased acutance. So, if i added a small amount to my home-made rodinal, would it be proportionately sharper?

PS: im going to do it regardless of whether i get a response or not. I was just curious if anyone else has tried this.

I use Potassium Iodide as one of 2 restrainers in a formula I've worked up for use with Freestyle APHS Lith Ortho film. My article and formula are here:
