Subject: Kodak Tmax 100 with Rodinal

I have to process a 120 roll of new Tmax 100 in Rodinal.
Agfa says 5'30'' at 20°C.

My problem is that since I'm Using distilled water, I have to work at
24°. You can't imagine how much Italy is hot now.

Wich times?

What else could I do? I put some distilled water in the fridge, but I
don't think I wil be able to keep 20°C during all the processing time.

First go to:

This is a chart will help you to determine development times at different
temperatures.

Then go to:
http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html

and look up Rodinal times and temps.

I wouldn't worry about developing TMX @ 24C it can take the higher temps a lot
better than the older emulsions. If you are reluctant to work at 24C, go to
page 52 of the "Darkroom Cookbook" and follow the instructions for "Modifying
Developers for Tropical Development".
