Sometimes absolute sharpness, err acutance, is desirable, most of the time there is a better trade off for the image. Which is why most of the time I'm using Xtol. Sitting on the shelf is a bottle of Rodinal that gets used when I want acutance or I want to tame some contrast issues. By standardizing on these two, I can pretty consistently turn my vision into the final image I wanted. If work relents, I may have to try the Beutler with some Agfa 25 in the freezer...
