Can't get more liner than Rodinal from what I've been taught and experienced it is the most strait line developer out there. (Not what you meant i now see). You can pull all the times you want from whoever and wherever but that first roll is going to be a crapshoot; a starting point. If it is a critical roll shoot a real quick roll a walk around the block, you dog and house and run that one first. Then you'll know where to go from there. Mark Rabiner
