They're interesting guys. I should revisit them.

With all this discussion of Rodinal, I sought a source. Adorama doesn't list it, and B&H lists the "special" on special order, but the regular Rodinal, according to their website, is "no longer available." I haven't looked elsewhere yet.

Hi Janet -
Rodinal is my "standard"developer.
I use it with FP4+ and HP5+ and prefer the grain and increase in perceived sharpness to the smudged appearance of so-called fine- grain developers. I find it easy to use, and the concentrate seems to keep almost indefinitely.
I understand that R09 is the original formulation.
Adox sells Rodinal under the name Adonal. It's available from Freestyle, B&H, and elsewhere.
Hope that helps - Brian Smith

I would *love* to try it. Is it a good combination with Tri-x? Tell
me how to pay, and how much. Thanks.
