[rollei_list] Re: was Rollei Retro Film now is Rodinal pin holes

I've been using Rodinal 1:100 & 1:50 for at least 30 years. With every  
conceivable film from early Adox, Perutz, Kodak, Ilford, Efke, and  
Fuji. My developer staples are, Rodinal, diXactol Ultra, D76, and  
Beutlers. I have never used anything other than water between the  
developer and fix. I rap the hangers or tanks sharply in the beginning  
and at the end of each agitation cycle. I have never ever had anything  
that resembled a pin hole in my developed film.

I personally think you have something else going on here other than  
Acros & Rodinal.

IMHO,

Jim
