The Agfa chemical line is now being manufactured by A+O in Germany. They're even using the same packaging!

just one Rodinal
just one Rodinal
hi every one
i use just one: rodinal at 1+50
why?
i am a bit lazy so i tried an other one (tmax, do not love it, let it down)
i love sharp grain so rodinal is the right dev for that
economic
i use it with tri-x at all iso (200,400,800,1000, 135 and 120 format), neopan 400 (120 format) and tmax 3200 at 1000 asa
i like the results but maybe other dev are ok for other people
francois
nb: two examples tmax 3200 at 1000 rod 1+50
tri-x 400 at 400 rod 1+50

I used PMK for a while, until a brand new kit did not work.
I have gone back to D76 made at home from raw chemicals. I use the same chemicals ( I bought enough to make 100 gallons) and mixed, it lasts 6 months for $3 a gallon, or $.75 a liter. I mix two batches a year and never had a single failure like I had with HC110 and Xtol and PMK.
D76 will nicely turn brown if it is no good. It is stored in 4 or 8 oz glass bottles with nylon cone seals in the lids right after mixing. never lost any yet.

Agfa NZ is being very cagey about the whole A+O thing. Not returning calls, when I do talk a human I get bounced around the phone exchange until they find me a machine to talk to, Wilde emails neither say 'yay' nor 'nay'. I'm getting the same run around that I got from Fuji NZ over Acros.
I might actually go and visit their head office, as it's only 2 minute walk around the corner from work, worst they can possibly do is set the receptionist on me... then again they are Germans
I'm having serious withdrawal symptoms right now, no more Rodinal, Classic, Neutol. Still have enough Viradon to poison the extended family fives times over
However... I've like have a go at pyro one day.

Rodinal is my poiison of choice for most things
But DDX (or Clayton F76+) are getting more and more use.
If you can;t find rodinal around you may try Donald Qualls Rodinal substitute made with paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol). Google for Parodinal or ParaRodinal and you will find the formula, otherwise email me and I'll send you a formula
