Seems every time I hear of people using it, they wind up having to shake the hly you-know-what out of it in order to keep from getting striations; stuff like that. Still, I bought some once and then idiotically went and shot it at 200!! Don't ask me _how_ that happened. Gasp! Gracious, I think the roll might well be doomed. In fact, this was probably a year ago and I still haven't tried to develop it. No clue as to how -- nor inclination to mess with it yet. Not enough anyway. OTOH, your friend seems in good company, as I keep hearing of people doing such work but only in 35mm. Wow. APX 25 is so much easier for me. As Erwin and someone else mentioned, Rodinal doesn't work so hot for faster things. This Iearned the hard way too! The grain was, to me, quite yucky. But for APX 25 it seems to do nicely. Really!!??? C41 chemistry? What a concept. Take care all!! Scott
