Kodak developers tend to be old fashioned Metol-hydroquinone . Which I vastly prefer the tonality and sharpness of. The Phenidone tends to give more shadow detail or film speed right at the get go. So you are starting off with a pushed speed. And you can continue on from that speed to even higher speeds as many people did. I'd assume my old Acufine made in Chicago where I lived at the time was a Phenidone based life form. Diafine made by the Acufine people they didn't even want you to shoot it at 400. 400 would be a pull. And you'd get really muddy hard to print negs.
