There's a reason why Rodinal has been around for as long as it has been!! It
works well with both "traditional" film and T-grain film. To say otherwise is
just ignorant.

: It will plunge me into a complete re-evaluation of all my practices.

Have I missed the news that hell has frozen over!! :-) Which model have your
ordered?? In any case you're going to love it and will quickly wonder how you
ever did without it.

That's your claim. Then again you have no crediblity in this group.

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.

Do you have ANY experience with these developers? I doubt it.

Decades of experience with D-76, usually 1:1. Moderate experience with
Rodinal and DK-50.

But to partly appease you, should I ever buy a Minox, I promise I'll try
Acutol. I'm a camera collector with too many untried toys: for the past
two years I've had a beautiful 5x7 "Compact" (ha!) Graflex, holders and
film; I've got a couple of exposed holders, so that's my next project.
D-76 1:1 or Rodinal should work fine for 5x7" contact prints.

True enough, but Acutol remains the best developer for conventional films in 35mm.

Frank, I don't even know what model it is. It is part of a huge lot of
studio and darkroom stuff I bought out. All I can tell you is that it has
lots of bottles, is about 5 feet long, has a lift, plumbing, two big boxes
of tanks and 'stuff'. If it id not even work (and it does) it would be
worth what I'm paying for it.
