Pan-F with Rodinal (1:100)
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to process Pan-F in Rodinal at
1:100 and still end up with it at iso 50? All the tables of development either have it at 1:25 or 1:50 for an end result of iso 50 ,,, or they have it processing in a dilution of 1:100 but with an end result of iso 25. I see times of around 11 minutes for iso 50 using 1:50 dilution of Rodinal. Any idea what the time would be for 1:100? Or is it likely to cause problems with the film? Thanks, Matt |

Why Rodinal? It's a poor developer. It does not give as much film speed
as D-76. In the case of Pan-F, use EI 25. Matt McGrattan wrote: Can anyone tell me if it's possible to process Pan-F in Rodinal at 1:100 and still end up with it at iso 50?

It gives much more defined and visually sharper image than D-76 (stock), with bigger but nice grain (it isn't a big issue with pan-f 50, is it?) and - thats true - lower speed. Not -1EV, maybe 0,5; so not EI 25 - go 32. cheers -- alkos at tlen pl http://onephoto.net/portfolio.php3?id_autora=17765 |

Pick one - ANY one - and it will be better than Rodinal. Rodinal is the most over-rated developer of all time. |

I'll maybe give it a go at 1:50 and then experiment with 32 in future. If anyone has any experience of trying it at 1:100 I'd like to hear how long they developed it for. Rodinal - it's what I have. I am open to suggestions for something else in the future. What about Paterson FX-39? Matt |

Paterson FX-39 absolutely trounces Rodinal. I use it all the time.
Try 1+17 dilution for 6,5 minutes at 20C/68F. DO NOT use Paterson's dilutions and times. Matt McGrattan wrote: On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 23:37:05 +0100, alkos wrote: UC napisa?(a): Why Rodinal?
