[Leica] Dumb Rodinal Question

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Thanks to share your experiences, for me the main reason to use Rodinal is
that is much more comfortable to use. I've used during years ID11, in my
opinion ID11 or D76 have a more high compensating effect and maybe Rodinal
is a little more "cold". D76 and ID11 are very similar, but ID11 has a
useful chart of times/temperatures very useful. 

I have used too HC110 and T-Max developer, but now I only use (or generally)
ID11 or Rodinal.

I put up some more of Fomapan and Calbe R09 (the "other" Rodinal):

http://dlridings.se/blog/?p=31

I shot a roll of Tri-X and processed in it yesterday. My immediate
impression is that the grain is not bothersome. I thought it would be.

To tell the truth, I don't see a big difference between Rodinal 1:25
and D76. It kind of depends on your subject area. If you have large
expanses of midtone grey, then the grain kind of dominates a shot,
where the some grain would not in a textured shot.

So in 35mm, I really can't see much reason to use Rodinal at all
(except that it is nice with a liquid developer). It could be that the
effects it can create are diminished by modern emulsions. I don't know
...
