A lot of statements are made about this issue, but if you look at
developed films under high quality optical microscope, you'll know
that fine grain developers make smaller grains, and the degree of
fuzziness is comparable. I bet the "soft" appearance of fine grain
negatives come from the limited resolution limit of enlarging optics.
It's not hard to think scanners behave differently here. My scanner
works best with fine grain negatives as well.
With ascorbates, even fine grain developers can have a bit better
accutance than D-76, so I think fine grain developer is most versatile
solution, which also takes advantage of properties of ascorbate,
because other agents didn't offer that range of developers. So the
result is DS-10.
