Acutol vs. Rodinal

I'm familiar with Rodinal and was just wondering if Paterson's Acutol
is similar, or a different bird altogether.

AFAIK they are two different species.

Acutol is a completely differnt kind of formulation, and is vastly
superior to Rodinal.

Anyone care to address their relative differences? I'm getting ready
to do some film/dev. calibrations for FP4 (120) and have been
considering these 2. As it stands, I may stick to D76, which is what
I've used for HP5+ (35mm). I'd welcome any opinions.

Hey! Some guy named Hans Beckert is saying the exact thing on Photo.net.
Isn't that a coincidence!

Do you know that guy, Hans? err, I mean, do you know Hans, Mike?

Acutol is far superior to D76 or Rodinal.

Not even close.

Try 1+14 for about 7-8 minutes, depending on whether you use a
condenser enlarger or diffusion.

Yep, same arrogance covering up for a poor understanding of photographic
materials. Too bad so many newbies have had to be corrected after receiving
your faulty advice.

C'mon Mike/Hans, don't be such a slimy little pussy! 'fess up! What is your
real name?

Rumor has it several moderators are thinking of banning you completely from
Photo.net. That would make sense, as less dogma and inaccurate information
are always striven for.

But please, please Mike/Hans, post that poorly exposed, badly composed, and
unsightly rhino picture again! Nothing like a real life example of your
skills.

Good Grief, try and get a simple answer out of this group anymore.

How bout the guy with the understanding of photographic materials?

Both Acutol and Rodinal are considered ac****ence developers, so what's
the difference? I ask because B&H cannot ship Rodinal, and I'm in the boonies.

Day Four and counting.

They make a Rodinal version and you can also buy the parts and make it
yourself.
