[Leica] re: so long rodinal

Certainly in my experience, the shelf life of Rodinal
is slightly in excess of the life of the shelf. One
reason why I love the stuff, especially with HP5.

Someone has just sent me 3 rolls of APX25 in 120 that
had been frozen, so there's some exercise for one of
my Rolleis.
