As a general purpose developer, I've found D76 diluted 1:1
produces more satisfying acutance with Tmax 100 than Tmax
developer.  It's not an extreme difference and may not be
as strong as you're looking for, but I like it so much that
it's my standard developer for Tmax 100.

DEAR LIST,
            I find that 35mm T-max 100 film in T-max dev lacks acutance.  It 
does have detail but not the sharp edges I like.  Please recommend what 
developer (& dilutions where applicable), time, temp, & agitation (small 
tanks), and ISO (though not strictly ISO) you use when you want extra acutance 
from 35mm T-max 100.  Of course, I would like smooth tones and relatively fine 
grain if possible though I know that, in some cases, I will have to sacrifice 
some fineness of grain for acutance.
            Thanks in advance for your help.
                        HOLIDAY CHEERS!
