Lots of grain with higher EIs. Bill Pierce suggested adding some NASO3 for ASA100 (to help smooth the grain out a bit). My notes for 500 cc of developer: Film Light E.I. Rodinal NASO3 Time Agfapan 25 flat 25 10 cc (1:50) none 5.0 min @68 degF Agfapan 100 sunny 64 10 cc (1:50) 20cc 6.5 min @68 degF Agfapan 100 flat 80 10 cc (1:50) 20cc 7.5 min @68 degF Plus-x 100 sunny 64 7 cc (1:75) 15cc 12 min @68 degF D76 1:1 gave more consistent results, but never produced the Rodinal/Agfapan sharpness and "glow" with plus-x. I'd try xtol with Agfapan if I were doing it today. Mike Rich Lahrson wrote: > I'm currently using Plus-X and D-23, but I'd like to try Rodinal with > a 100 speed film.
