Rodinal was called the "developer for grain lovers", somewhat unjustly I
hasten to add. If you use Rodinal in weaker diltions (1:50, 1:75, 1:100)
it is a very nice developer and acts as a balancing/compensating
developer. I find the recommended dilutions of 1:10 or 1:25 as too harsh
and grainy.


Isn’t that counter to logic, in that the more dilute developers generally give
sharper and more evident grain?
I generally use the late version Rodinal at 1-50 and it is definitely grainy.
