From now on, if I see a typical such thread I think I'll just post "IADF" and duck out.
Hi Pdeeh,
Regarding "
inchoate acutance developer fetish" try Beutler developer with Tmax or PanF or Kodak or Konica BW infrared films (if you can find some) and I think you will see that the resulting prints from the negatives do indeed benefit from a high acutance developer (of course grain is more apparent in a high acutance developer than in a fine grain developer).
Infrared shots using Kodak high speed infrared and Konica infrared films developed in Beutler high acutance developer respectively - I wish you could see the prints on Grade 5 Agfa Paper (I could sell you them at a bourgeois price + postage),
Cheers Peter
