[rollei_list] Rodinal & Neopan results

Hi Everyone,

This "Donkeys in WIlliston, VT" series are the first three results from the roll of Neopan 400 I processed in my "old" Rodinal 1:50 for 11 minutes (as recommended on the Rodinal box and the "Massive Development Chart"):

It got a bit too contrasty for my taste so I struggled a bit to make it work in the digital environment and I know the negs won't be a pleasure to work with in the darkroom. Perhaps the developer was a tad too cold (1/2 a degree Celsius) ?? Two pictures ot the Montreal olympic tower against the blue sky are worthless becasue the sky and tower ended up almost white in white (on this note: I am looking for a clean Bay II orange filter!)

I may go back to Sprint Developer or D76 for Neopan 400. Definitely need a softer result for "Mother and baby" shoot I have planned with my 3.5E.
Any suggestions?

I've used 5+ year old stuff that was not brown, but BLACK. Worked fine.
