Acutol give better speed, better tonality, finer grain, and better sharpness than Acutol. It is NOT a solvent developer. If you choose Rodinal instead, you're making a mistake. It's inferior on all measures to Acutol. |

Ok I'll try it, I'll use Ilford Delta 100 sheet film.
68F in a rotary drum on my Jobo. I'll do the comparison between Acutol and "Rodinol 1+100" if Acutol is truly better in any way I'll admit it. You can suggest any time for the process you like but I am quite capable of running my own field tests and will do so. In article , (Michael Scarpitti) wrote: Gregory Blank wrote in message ...

With sheet film? & If I don't like it better than Rodinal 1+100 can I publicly flog you for wasting my time, film and money? Why yes, of course! Please note that dilution may need to be increased if you're using a rotary machine. Let me know, before you start, what film you'll be trying with it. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

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. |
