Yet another Rodinal 1+100 thread

Dear people, my question is simple:
Can 500ml of 1+100 working solution of Rodinal hold 2 rolls of 35mm without getting to exhaustion?

Thanks.

Why couldn't this just have been tacked on to the other thread. It would probably be more helpful to someone in the future just to have one thread to look up instead of many.

As for your question, I have done 2 rolls in 600 ml total liquid (290ml per roll needed in my Patterson tank + an extra 10ml just to be sure)

Thank you for the answer.
Since this is a different question than in the other threads I figured that opening a different thread is okay.
(The "Rodinal 1+100" in the title is mainly for the ease of searches)

Sorry for the mess (if I caused any trouble)
 
You should be fine. If you are doing stand development I suspect that the Rodinal is pretty well exhausted after 60 min. Even with 20 min developing time it has probably lost must of its activity too.
Could be worth while to see if it works. Say, do 2 rolls at 1:100/60 min stand and do a test roll in the same bath for the same time/dilution.
 
It's always worked for me, though if I thought my exposures were questionable, i.e., some on the underexposed side or a 10-stop range, I might use only 1 roll.

I never go beyond 19-20 minutes for 1:100.
 
Well, I tried it yesterday but I suspect the development wasn't so good.
(although I was just looking at the negatives, neither contact print nor scans).

Two rolls of Tri-X400, exposed at 3200 ISO.
500ml of Rodinal 1:100 @ 20°C for 120 minutes, semi-stand method.
Pre-soak in water for 3 minutes.
Slow agitation for 1st minute.
Then 10 slow swivels every 30 minutes thereafter.

I'll probably do some scans later on, but I'm not that optimistic.
