[Leica] re: so long rodinal

[jsmith342 at cox.net (Jeffery Smith)]

I just got my shipment of "Classic 400" and "Classic 200" film from J&C
Photo. At about US$1.50 per roll, I hope I love them. I'm going to try them
out with my standard divided D-76, a developer that works well with long
scale film. I'm also expecting some FOMA, EfKe, and Bluefire Police next
week. And I just souped my first two rolls of Rollei 25. I had to guess on
the development time. Wish me luck.

I've tried Calbe A49 (in the name of ADOX ATM49) and D76 1:1. I think I
prefer D76 1:1. D76 is a lot easier to find and the combination doesn't
create a lot of chemical fall-out, like Calbe A49 did for me. Mind you, it
might have had something to do with my water, but Calbe and Fomapan was
difficult to work with. I would have to spot (clone) every frame from a lot
of small particles. Very small. They might not even have shown up in a
conventional enlarger, but in a Nikon scanner they were all over the place.
I didn't have the same problem with D76.

I haven't tried anything else.
