R09 was the eastern european version, sold by FOMA and also labeled ORWO in the
70s and 80sIt was kinda screwy becasue dilutions were different (1+20 and
1+40), but pretty much the same afterwards
I saw thet it is for sale again, in the same bottle as rodinal and I think
dilutions are same as rodinal.
Great developer for T-type films, and for slow films

I saw a friend's negatives last night that were so nice (actually scans of
them), and when he described the quality of them it described what I like. He
said he processed them in the old Rodinal (bought on Ebay), and that there is a
new developer with the same name but that it isn't really the same as the old.
He also told me about another developer out of eastern Europe that's supposed
to be like the old Rodinal. Is it RO9? Not sure I'm remembering that right.
Another guy from a Hassy group on FB said Adox makes Rodinal, and it's like the
original. Is that so?
Please tell me what you know about Rodinal, and where I might get the "real
thing". Thanks.
Janet
