Tank Giuseppe - Italia Add the two numbers together. 1+25 equals 26. Divide 300/26 and that equals the amount of Rodinal. 11.5ml. So use 12ml and 288ml of water. Nick

Not that it even makes that much difference; I wouldn't lose any sleep over this measurement. Black & white processing at this level is pretty damn forgiving. -- I was quickly apprised that an "RSS feed" was not, as I had naively imagined, some new and unspeakable form of sexual debauchery practised by young persons of dubious morality, but a way of providing news articles to the cybernetic publishing moguls of the World Wide Wait so they can fill the airwaves with even more useless drivel. - Cynical shop talk from comp.publish.prepress

Even if it did just doing it the same away every time would be good enough. But knowing the "right" way to handle dilutions might matter with some other items. Nick

It's inexpensive, internationally avaialable, the concentrate will literally keep for years, it produces results some people find visually appealing, it works with a wide variety of films and can be used at a broad range of dilutions for different effects. In medium format, you're unlikely to notice the grain, though it can be distracting with fast film in 35 mm. Sounds like a fine beginner's developer to me.

It can be distracting with fast film in 35 mm.
Yeah. I use it mainly for sub 200 ISO. and HC-110 and T-Max-developer for 400+ development. A 50 ISO film (e.g. Ilford Pan-F+) in Rodinal 1+50 is a joy! And other slower films are also very nice in Rodinal 1+50. My absolute favourite. Sounds like a fine beginner's developer to me. The best and the cheapest. My first developer. Easy to mix and very versatile.

It's inexpensive, internationally avaialable, the concentrate will literally keep for years, it produces results some people find visually appealing, Not me. It's way too grainy! it works with a wide variety of films and can be used at a broad range of dilutions for different effects. In medium format, you're unlikely to notice the grain, though it can be distracting with fast film in 35 mm. PRECISELY! Sounds like a fine beginner's developer to me.
