Hi Jeffery,

Excellent example!

Yesterday I started to scan some negatives developed with Rodinal, after
years I've not used it. I've found my pictures too crispy, too contrasted,
to much blach, to much white and few midle greys. Maybe is a reason of
agitation plan, I constanly agitate the first minute and after 5 sec. Every
30 sec. , but I think that ID11 has a more compensating effect. On the other
hand I have appreciated better results (with Rodinal 1:50) on TRI-X than on
T-MAX.

Finally I have constated that I have a problem with the water quality at
home, I've saw microscopical points of solid incrustations, maybe are
chemical... but I think it was solid parts on the water, I should look for a
filter. 

Conclusion: Today I've sand to my usual professional LAB my 3 last films on
B&W.

Your results are excellent, seeing them through a "developing eye opinion",
they show good contrast, transparency, good fine detail, but maybe a little
pooor on grey scale...?

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

I decided to try some old, brown Rodinal (the world's oldest commercial
developer) with some Fuji Acros (the world's newest B&W film as far as I can
tell).

Despite the disparity in their ages, the two work together quite nicely.

Later, I'll post some Tri-X and APX 400 developed in Rodinal. Bad idea.
