[pure-silver] Re: Grain Size

Sulfite is very good with Rodinal but I followed Pat Gainer's
advice and added 4 g/l of sodium ascorbate instead.
That makes the development faster so that 1+50+C times are the
1+25 times.
Graininess decreases, tonality is smooth and sharpness is not
affected.

I wonder if you could also add ascorbate to D76
