Anyone use Rodinal with S-L-O-W emulsions?

Hi

Yes, I use Efke 25 and Rodinal. I have tried 1+100 and 1+200 (stand) dilutions on 120 and 9x12cm film. A really nice combination, and with the MF and LF negatives, grain is not a problem 🙂 Stick to the higher dilutions and don't agitate too much and you shouldn't have too many problems with contrast.

Here are a couple of examples from my Iskra II with Efke 25

1. Iskra + Efke 25

2. Iskra + Efke 25

Paul: Those are VERY nice! They have the kind of "guts" I really like, and the tonal separation is wonderful. Thanks for posting.

Maco TP64c in another Rodinal dilution, this time 1:100. I used the 20 min suggested for Agfa APX 25, one tilt each minute and the negatives are somewhat dense.
The lighting conditions were similar (heavy overcast) to my previous test. Camera this time was a Zorki 3M with a Jupiter 8.

Peter: Looks promising ... maybe 17-18 minutes?

Yes, Earl, I think that'd be about right. The 1:100 negs have much better range, so slightly less development time should cut the density a bit.
