[rollei_list] Re: Rodinal & Neopan results

Hi Jan:
        They are very good photographs, well composed. I like tones very much, 
some areas look a bit contrasty in my monitor, anyway the images  general look 
is very good.
A cold developer means it has less activity and then the result would be a neg 
less contrasty, at least with Rodinal, and then I don't think temperature was a 
problem.
It's very strange to me you mentioned the Rodinal box recommends 11 minutes 
diluted 1:50 for Fuji Across 400, I still keep my last and empty Rodinal bottle 
with the box and the paper with instructions, they recommend 8 minutes 1:50 for 
the Across 400 gamma 0,65; according these instructions you could overdevelop 
the film a bit.
