[Leica] Panatomic-X in Rodinal

[Mark Rabiner]

Panatomic-X was my main signature film if I was shooting black and white which I mainly did in the late 70’s and 80’s.
When Kodak came out with the first tab grain film it was Tmax 100 and they said it replaced the ISO 32 Panatomic-X.
Not even close. 
I thought Panatomic-X was really ISO 50 and that’s what I shot it at with any developer I ever used at any dilution.
I think a lot of people didn’t like Panatomic-X because they were over exposing it. It was not a well liked film. 
Panatomic-X did not like being over exposed by not even a little bit.
I bought it in 100 foot rolls at first and rolled my own. I bought it from a pro level photo store and they told me few others ever bought that stuff. At least in 100 foot rolls.
It was not well liked.
