Rodinal Stand Developing Tutorial

[Disaster_Area]

I don't make a habit of mixing speeds and brands, but it's nice to know it will work in a pinch. I've tried adding more time for pushing, but didn't really notice a huge difference, maybe I'll do some more empirical tests... but it's been working fine so far. If it ain't broke, don't fix it 🙂

I've done C41 in Rodinal and while it's not the best it does work, much better than I thought it would. Not a replacement for regular B&W film, but nice for testing new cameras and techniques.

R09 and Adonal

R09 and Adonal

Hello, I have been developing with R09 one shot for some times with consistent results in Semi stand (1+100 in about 800ml water for two rolls one hour).
I recently changed to Adonal that is supposed to be same. But my tri-x rolls came out very, very contrasty. That put me on stress. How could Stand bring to excessive contrast.

Second question: I also use Kentemere K400 dev in stand, same method. Opposite results, since these are always too flat in stand. Is giving more agitation, like a couple of inversions every 20 minutes, solving the problem and kicking a bit this lazy (but quite good) film? Thanks a lot. Jean-Marc.

I've been having fun with Rodinal stand development and enjoyed this tutorial. I know it's not ideal, but I essentially set a roll of HP5+ to 1/30sec at f/1.4 and didn't bother to meter indoors vs outdoors at night. I'm guess the EI was somewhere between 200 and 3200.

here's a shot i liked that had some nice halos around street lights. I scanned flat/positive and used negfix8 then onto LR for the rest.
