Seems I cann't order Rodinal and Diafine from US, because restrictions for Oversea shipping. I saw Rodinal and Diafine in Adorama in powder form. Also, they don't block any country world wide. Now, the two developers are powder form. Is that means they differ from the original badly?
Thanks
 
EmilGil - photoimpex.de is site under construction and I don't want to do business with them for now.
 
Diafine is a powder, Rodinal is a liquid, and since it has NaOH in its contents mail are not very keen in transporting it.
I have recipe for Diafine if you want to make your own
 
Thanks titrisol. I wanted ready made Diafine. I saw the formula in Massive Dev site. I hope the powder shipped to me is as close as original.
 
i thought diafine WAS powder originally!

I got mine from the US, freestyler, no problem shipping it (but was not cheap, the shipping, and, they managed to get 30% import duty as well :( )
 
Well, Diafine IS a powder. Most probbaly it will be the original since it is cheap.
I think fotohuis in the netherlands had some

I ordered 1 Diafine for 2X950 ml Konzentrat. I think I'll got 950 ml A bath and 950 ml B bath. If so, it is not so cheap. Is that right?
 
Diafine came in powder "pouches" to make 2x950 (1quart) of each developer
that should be about $10 + Shipping
It looked like this:

At 16.8 Euros it is not so cheap, but also that last an awful long time.
Always remeber to use Bath A, return to bottle, then Bath B (no agitation)

Diafine may or may not work for you
It works best IMHO with TriX exposed at 1000 and PlusX

Yeah, good images with Diafine elsewhere. BUT then again is not the developer or the camera that makes a good picture
