Yes, I've been to that site about graflex, I have the GRAFLEX CROWN
SPECIAL. I tried to develop that roll of ADOX in RODINAL 1:50 for 10
mnutes at 68deg. F the negatives came out very thin. I may just
order ADOX's developer with my next film order, and try again. The
only thing broken ont he tripod are the upper stop collars for the
legs, two of the three are broken, I have substituted hose clamps
for now, but plan on restoring it soon. I am also currently trying
to get a replacement pushbutton switch for a CALUMET flash meter
from the late 70's early 80's, I cleaned it up, put new batteries in
it, and had it working for a couple of days, it even read real well
with my vivtar flash meter, then the button broke.
Very briefly, if the negatives are thin but have adequate
contrast they are underexposed. Rodinal does not deliver the
maximum speed a film is capable of but it should be no more than
about 1/2 stop slower than the same film in D-76. If the contrast
is LOW and the negs are thin you need more development time,
perpaps about 30% to start
