Delta 3200 in Rodinal...lots of fiber

[kaiyen]

Hi all,
Well, I finally made it through week 3 of the March challenge...and thought I'd try something a bit different. I have a few more rolls of Delta 3200 left from the batch I got a couple of years ago, and thought I might put it through some Rodinal.

The images at http://photos.kaiyen.com/photoBlog/?page_id=22 are all Delta 3200 at 3200 in Rodinal 1+25 for 25 minutes. 60s initial agitation plus 10s every 3 minutes.

Shadow detail is actually just fine, and highlights are controlled. In fact, I could've probably gone to 30 minutes or so.

Grain is insane. Fun experiment.

Thanks for posting these allan - Grain-city yes, but I like the effect you've created.

Yup, lotsa fiber in there.... good for your stomach!

Joke aside, I love the look of Delta 3200 (Ei 1000) in Rodinal 1+50
The grain is there but the tonality is fine and the contrast is good.

Thanks John. It is an interesting look.

Pablo - I would've preferred 1+50 as well, but I couldn't find any recommended times. Do you have any? I got 1 roll left of that slightly-old D3200.

danke,
allan

I was doing EI1000 for 30 minutes (agitating evey 3) so for 3200 about 1 hour, agitating once every 5 minutes.

I still have 1/4 of my test roll, let me run a test on friday and I'll let you know for sure

Allan, 60 minutes in 1+50, agitating every 3rd minute came out good.
The frames exposed at 3200 were good, lotsa grain though!

I think adding 4 g/l of ascorbate will allow to shorten the time to about 30 minutes while keeping sharpness and even decreasing some of the grain.
