where can you buy rodinal lately?

I noticed a few weeks back, B&H delisted rodinal on their website, and
they seemed to be the last of the big NYC photo shops to have it.
Anyone know of a reliable source? I'm in the NY/NJ area.

If you can find it, it's going to be on the dusty backshelf of some
forgotten shop. Agfa is no more, and everyone who wanted to stock up
on Rodinal has done so over the last month.

Or moved on to formulating their own.

I wonder, could another company make it or a substitute? Does anyone hold
the rights to it or have they expired as they are so old?

Rodinal always was crap. Good riddance!

The Photographers' Formulary has a version of the original, but they've
decided to stop production of their dry chemistry kit in favor of a liquid
mix. The new soup isn't on their shelves yet, but it will be soon. You can
still find the powder kits around; the product name is "Formulary
Paraminophenol Film Developer." B&H had some in stock as of last week.

Freestyle claims to still have some.


Meanwhuile, you can try this.
700 ml water. Add 150 grams sodium sulfite and 14 grams of sodium
hydroxide. Red Devil lye will do. When the solids are dissolved, bring
the volume up to 1 liter with water, put the solution in a 1 liter
storage container and add 40 grams of p-aminophenol (not the
hydrochloride), shake well and serve. Use it as Rodinal.

There will be some precipitate. This is the "few remaining crystals" of
the standard recipe and is the protection aginst aerial oxidation. Of
course, you don't believe me, but try it anyway.

To what end? Rodinal is crap!

crap or no crap: for those who still want a replacement: Calbe 09 (old
brand) now made by ADOX, APH09. Said to be based on the pre WWII Rodinal
formula. Maybe crap, but for some kind of photography I like it. Seems even
to respect the film's speed (what could not be said about Rodinal). I
developed late Agfa APX and Kodak Tri-X in it. But, I must admit, I liked
APX much better in Acutol, but that's personal taste, istn't it, and de
gustibus...

Right, Acutol trounces Rodinal...
