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.

Maybe a poor man's developer, but not "poor". At all. 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.

There are better non-solvent developers. Pick one - ANY one - and it
will be better than Rodinal.

Rodinal is the most over-rated developer of all time.

I have a couple of rolls of film already exposed at iso 50 so I have
to develop those at the marked EV.

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?

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.
