Tmax 100 in Rodinal

OP, great shot and lovely scan.

Didnt know Acros works well on Rodinal as well, 1+25?
Been scarred on using Rodinal with Neopan 400 because if produces some weird grain structure, no problem with HP5+ though

Yes.. Inky rich demonstration.
Rodinal seems great with tmax and accros.
 
Well I just put a roll of Acros through my Gl690 with a couple of 65mm F5.6 lens and I can only dream of getting your(Kenny) results ! I'll expand upon having a couple of 65mm lens somewhat later (possibly after developing this roll) Peter

I use 1:50 while shot at EI 80.

+1. I've noticed it's really good with slower (than 400) speed film. I've had nothing but good luck with it on PanF+, TMX and FP4.

Never liked HP5+ with it, although it's a wonderful film...YMMV

Yes, Colin, that's been my experience, as well. Have not tried it with HP5 so can't speak intelligently about that.
 
I wonder how Ilford Delta 100 would look in Rodinal. I might just try that, when the weather gets nice enough to get me out shooting.
 
Yep. In contrast to what many others say, Rodinal works fine with Tmax films.
As long as you use it at 1:50, though. At 1:25 it gets pretty grainy.

I like Rodinal a lot. Just with the new Agfa APX I was not really satisfied (but I have only tried one roll, so it's hard to come to a general conclusion).

I may use the new APX emulsion while I'm in Paris. I would almost certainly develop it in Rodinal, so would be interested to hear how you get along with it as you shoot more.

The other option is the X-Tol/Rodinal combination. IMO it is sweet with any film.
 
I made the mistake to develop APX 100 in Rodinal 1:25.
Pretty sure that the results would have been much better in 1:50.
 
Had similar experience with Acros and Tmax with Rodinal.
