Sorry, I'll try to tone it down.
Ben, I absolutely agree with you regarding the film vice the chemistry problems.
Heck, you can develop film in coffee and fix it in salt water if you have to. But film is a bit of a sticky wicket.

In perhaps the greatest irony of all - thanks to the combination of ebay, ridiculous prices for agfa branded rodinal, a well known formula, inkjet printers and a company out of [the] business - I predict an endless supply of Rodinal in bottles bearing the red rhombus to be had on ebay.

Yeah, even if it's old A&W Root Beer bottles filled with "Super Developer Special from Mrs. Miggins Pie Shoppe" and the label crossed out and 'Rodinal' written on them in crayon.
And the beat goes on...

Hey, are youse guys makin' fun of me? I'll have you know I was a very early customer of Photographers' Formulary!!!
Seriously, I've heard of people having problems mixing up their Rodinal brew, but that just may have been hamfisted English majors.
Like I said, I'm lazy, and Rodinal is available at quite reasonable prices. If the prices weren't reasonable (Freestyle or elsewhere), I wouldn't have "stocked up".
Earl, anxiously awaiting Ilford Delta 25.

I guess thats the one thing that sucks about living in the middle of the pacific.

For those who don't know, JandB Photo also sell EFKE-25 which is an excellent film. The attached image was taken on EFKE-25 with a Bessa-T and developed in Rodinal 25:1.

I picked up a box of Efke 25 in 4x5. That should make for some _very_ long exposure times.

It depends on what you feed the chickens, I reckon. 😕

Better than exploding after you've eaten it.

I'm not worried about getting Rodinal. I've actually been a little curious, maybe I'll order some Calbe replacement just to try it out. In spite of my screen name, I'll try something different.

For those that want to try compounding their own developers, etc. and be precise, a Reloaders scale like the 5-0-5 RCBS is very handy. A number of formulas are measured in grains and reloader scales are setup to measure to .10 of a grain. FYI there are 7000 grains to a lb.

I just bought four of these haf-liter bottles (one case) from ym local custom lab for $20 (total). They were reducing their inventory and now just sell the small bottles. I've never one of these sell for more than $14 a bottle.

Photographer's Formulary:

sells p-aminophenol developer, which is generic Rodinal
I suspect that the last two developers to exist on Earth will be D-76 and Rodinal.

True story: Back in the early part of the 20th Century, my grandparents cooked and heated with wood. One Winter, my grandfather began to notice that firewood was beginning to disappear from their pile on a regular basis. Soooo, he drilled a hole in one end of a piece of firewood using a brace and bit. The hole was filled with black powder and plugged. That piece of firewood was carefully placed so that it would be taken by the thief.
A few days later there was a sharp "BANG" from a next door neighbor's house. My grandfather stepped next door and saw a kitchen dripping chicken stew from the ceiling and covering the walls. He smiled, went back home and never mentioned it to the neighbor who never mentioned it to him. The theft of firewood stopped immediately.
My grandfather owned a mill and on another occassion someone was stealing animal feed at night. My grandfather's solution was a simple one: he ordered a double spring bear trap with spike teeth and when it arrived, he hung it by the front door of the mill. Customers would always ask why it was hanging there. My grandfather explained that someone was stealing feed and that he was now setting bear traps in different locations each night inside the mill. Sooner or later the thief would be caught. He never once actually set the trap but the stealing stopped very quickly.
In today's world the thieves would likely sue and a stupid jury would award them damages. 75 years ago thieves were held responsible for their own actions and the consequences thereof.
