I find it's so rare that a recommend time actually works :-) I just use it with FP4+, so far, but I've become something of a Rodinal fan in recent history. I've been looking for something finer grain to make larger prints from scanned 135 negs. I've got the dreaded Nikon V with the LED light source which seems to further accentuate film grain (along with dust and scratches). Who knows, maybe after all my trials, I'll end up with Rodinal anyway. A bit of grain does add something to a B&W pic :-) Scott Richard Ogden wrote: > Scott McLoughlin wrote: > >> How does Acros "look"?
