Neopan400 in Rodinal 1:100?

they tend to calm down once they get enough medicine
in their system,....if you don't repeatedly antagonize
them. ;-)

I would like to take a moment and thank you for all the laughs you've given
me. Your posts and the drek that you put on the web to show off your photographic
ability has made for good laughing stock for myself and others.

I've never actually used Rodinal but have seen prints made from neatives
developed with Rodinal. The results were breath taking.


But even better results would be in Acutol.

With sheet film? & If I don't like it better than Rodinal 1+100 can I

What is this? Just in this branch of a thread, the nameless one is
rebutted by experience by 4 to 1.

My fathers father was (of course) a Douglas from Scotland. My
mothers father was a Harper. I guess that's Scotch-Irish enough ;))

Better tones and better grain FOR WHOM? The local Kamera Klub Koffee
Klatch kontest kliches?

If so, no thanks. I'll use D-76 or even DK-50 when I need a "fine grain"
developer.

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.

No, for you.

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.
