This is just wrong. When diluted to working strength, Rodinal's
alkalinity is not really so high.

Someone have a meter?

Rodinal's graininess is primarily a result of using a dilute developer
with few salts in solution, a low buffered alkali and no chemicals
that modify the developer's action.

Try Rodinal at 1:100 , :200, etc. along with some Sodium Sulfite .
Anything from 30 grams, and up, per liter of working solution will do.

That alone will reduce the appearance of grain, speed development and
give an increase in film speed.

Reuse it once, immediately, and the grain gets reduced more..

But, the nameless one never knew that.

His ignorance in some areas is profound, despite his expressions of
some sort of dogma as omniscience.


Acutol and Neopan 400 are just fabulous together!


So some say about Sigfried and Roy but that doesn't mean I want spend
the night in my car with them.

What's that expression? "Go get 'em, Tiger?" ;-/

Rodinal at 1:100, 1:200 etc would be very close to exhaustion and
difficult to control for that reason.

There is just no good reason to use Rodinal at all.

Glad you liked it.

BTW, I know Jack. He's a neighbor.

At one time Jack Daniels and Samuel Adams got together and
created something called Millennium Ale. Please let me know if you
ever come across a bottle. It's a 40 proof beer ;))

Damn and to think those negatives I just processed last weekend should
be really underdeveloped at 1+100. "NOT".

You know, I've had terrific luck with Rodinal 1:200 for modified stand
processing of Agfa AXP 100. Very even development, very nice N-1. Perhaps
I've assimulated Rodinal's characteristics into my methods for too long to
understand, but I like it a lot.

OTOH, I have a monster JOBO system ordered. It should be here in two weeks.
It will plunge me into a complete re-evaluation of all my practices.

: You don't know me, or my work. Shut up and let me answer the man's question!

Last year you put your "work" on display on a website. Those of us that saw it
are still laughing at what we saw.

No but I've had a few Irish Car bombs,.... Guiness with
a shot glass of Bailey's Irish cream dropped into it
I highly recommend the combo,...but you need to drink it fairly
quickly or the "cream" makes a strange looking out of the Guiness.

Somewhere in my roots I have some Irish/Scotch blood,...
or was that in my desk drawer? ;-)
