Marko, I don't use Rodinal for the acutance effect - there are far better developers for that. I used Rodinal simply because it's convenient, cheap (a bottle lasts a long time), and available (I have a bottle). Most of the time I use the Rodinal for MF and LF films, where the acutance wouldn't do much difference anyway - there are other developers I like better for 35mm if I can be bothered to make them.
The colour difference I described is real, and persisted after fixing, washing and drying.
