Slowly losing faith in Rodinal, I'm not sure I like the course grain for scanning. I've got an enlarger now, so maybe you'll see a print from this batch.
Darkroom recently flooded so pardon the dust since I had to develop somewhere else. Plus the reload cart I used fucking SUCKS. Need to get me some snap caps or something.
Right your Wrongs
I have been using a homebrew Rodinal made by a local provider. My results where somehow far away from what i have learned about it, but that didn´t kept me from trying it arround and tweaking the use of it with different dilution or film combinations.
So I bounced into the stand development aproach, because the high dilution could give me a better result instead of the higher precision (time/temp) needed with more concentrated dilutions.
The results where far worse than the official literature.
So I went on with adjusting the dilution, I did several tries and found that my Rodinal (homebrew) is somehow thinner than the original.
That said and thought I putted on the developing tank a doubled dilution and did the stand developing as if it was 1+100 for 1 hour.
I did 1+50 for 1 hour.
The negatives finnally came with the correct density and the right contrast.
It has been a pleasure scanning them.
I learned in the dark room that doubling or halfing gets you to the hot spot, as a common rule in film photography this came out true for me.
I will comment this to my friend that makes this Local Rodinal versión, so he can adjust his chemics.
But i wanted to share the fact that some things when you put your heart into it can come right.

Not that you can tell from this shit photo but ye first dev with #rodinal was just fine. It was a found roll of TMax100 so I ran over it with the #Pentax #PC35AF, only half the roll is double exposures. Can't wait to see what it all looks like.
1+50 (20ml R09 to 980ml water) but get this, I started off with just 500ml until my shitty plastic Paterson reels refused to take the full 36 exp. negative. I tried developing it with the 500ml solution until I decided to make it 1ltr. by adding another 10ml developer and 400ml and a bit water.
Crazy, or just too tired to give a ding-dong?
Just got back from San Francisco last night, where I'd had some Rodinal shipped to my sister's. Getting it to her place was fairly straightforward, but I really didn't know how to get it home, since it's not supposed to be shipped by air.
Eventually I decided to just risk putting it in my checked baggage. When I got home, it had been opened by the TSA, but apparently they were ok with it, so they sealed it back up and closed my suitcase.
This stuff is totally unavailable in Japan, but I don't think I would enjoy photography without it. For black and white film, there's nothing that I like as much. Using very weak dilutions and long development times, I am able to get shadow detail that would otherwise be impossible.
The little box is the last bottle of what I had before I got this batch.
It's available in the us at Freestyle Photo:

Kodak Tri-X 400 pulled to 200, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 9 minutes. I decided to give pulling a try to reduce contrast as I am craving a bit of a different look and not quite ready to switch developers yet. I think I may try pulling this film again- but with 12 minutes of development based on Kodak's recommendation to subtract one minute for a one stop pull. MDC says 9 mins at 1:50 for tri-x at 200, but 13 mins at 1:50 shot at box speed so I'm curious to see the difference between what it says there and Kodak's recommendations.
leica 111f, 15mm heliar, apx100 at 200asa in rodinal 1-50. Maybe not for the purists! but split toned this mono shot.
I tried 2 new things today.
1 Rollei Retro 400 film.
2 Rodinal R09 Film developer.
Shot with my Rollei 6x6 through an orange filter
I was given three rolls of 35mm Kodak Technical Pan (expired 2002). I hunted around for a development scheme and finally settled on this. Mostly because I had Rodinal. I'm only posting in case some of you still have some in the fridge.
16 EI
Rodinal 1+150 for thirteen minutes
Agitate with 30 seconds initial inversions, then 3 inversions at 10 minutes,7 minutes,4 minutes, and 1minute counting down. (every 3 minutes)
Regular stop, fix and hypo.
I used 5ml of Rodinal in 750ml of H2O. That gives less than the recommended 10ml of Rodinal but the negatives really look great (full tone scale).
I had to figure out a curve profile as I felt (and still do) that the midtones were not right. Technical Pan is also a dust magnet; lots of healing tool. Even with Rodinal there is virtually no grain.
