I have to agree with you on that. My recent infatuation with film, RFs,
TLRs, and single coating lenses is also connected with my fond memories of
the Life Magazine photos I grew up on. You're also right on the
Rodinal...it's the longest-production developer that's still around.

Yes, I have.  Jeffery, it is good stuff and true to the original.  Rodinal
dates from, I believe, 1893.  As a Classicist, I am always reminded that on
many things, they did it better in the old days!
