Dear Niall,
A49 is a developer like Agfa Atomal, it delivers very fine graine, also a good solution for highspeed-films with 27 DIN and more.
But on the other hand, you must expose and develop a little more precisely, I take A 49 only for films with higher speed.
If you want to have a developer between Rodinal and a49 I would recommend ILFORD ID 11, thats my developer for Films between 15 and 21 DIN.
In addition do not take the undiluted developer, because the times are not very precisly given, to make same results after some films.
Take better dilution 1+1 or 1+2.
Finally, I would not push or pull films because they delivers the best results with the onprinted speed (good there are some developers that change speed about+- 3 DIN for best results)
