Dante Stella told me a technique a few years ago, with extremely dilute Rodinal and an incredibly long development time. I wonder if all of these old Rodinal techniques are summarized anywhere on the web.

I haven't tried it with Acros but I've gotten good to excellent results on Tech Pan with Rodinal dilted 1:100 12 min @ 68, agitation 10 seconds every 3 minutes... (from an old article in Camera and Darkroom ca. late 1990's or so..) The very high dilution and slow action seems to tame the grain and contrast problems - and it's a heck of a lot simpler than the technidol circus...
