Hi Thor, I've developed Tri-X 220, HP5 and Delta 400 in Rodinal and they're
fine as far as I'm concerned. I cannot comment on other films though.
See my link to Flickr a couple of weeks ago about Delta 400 and problems with
backing paper image transfer. Other than the backing paper imprint on the
emulsion, you should be able to check the grain OK.

Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Rodinal in a Job ok for Kodak emulsions?
Thanks John,
lest anyone suspect I’m a complete moron, I’m fully aware that Rodinal will
develop pretty much any film just fine.
What I was more interested in was whether using Rodinal 1+25 in a Jobo would
“ruin” the faster films (Tri-X, TMY) by producing colossal amounts of grain. I
don’t mind grain, but I don’t want lumpy oatmeal either.
Obviously everything is a tradeoff, I’m on a deadline and am just wondering
whether I should take the extra time and effort to give the Kodak stuff
“special treatment” (it will still be in a Jobo, just with a different
developer, D-76), or if they’ll be fine, just a bit rougher than usual.
Thanks,
Thor
(P.s. The Jobo manual and everything I’ve seen online and elsewhere recommends
using Rodinal @ 1+25 in the Jobo. I’ve heard 1+50 can be advantageous when
developing without the added agitation the Jobo causes, and even 1+100 for
stand developing. If I get around to finding some regular lids for my tanks, I
might actually try it sometime.)

Thor,
I develop all my films in Rodinal, basically because I do not process
frequently and opened Rodinal keeps from one millennium to the next - I keep
mine in the fridge. It is grainy but I have used it for all my films for the
past 15 or so years (Ilford, Kodak, Rollei, Efke, Adox, Agfa) . I have not
compared different film types with different developers to know which gives the
best results but that is subjective anyway.
I tend to use 1+50 for times as per the Digitaltruth website.

I’m trying to catch up on my developing, and don’t have much time.
Been running Rodinal 1+25 for 5 minutes in a Jobo. With APX100 it’s perfect.
I have some rolls of 125PX, 400TX and 400TMY-2, and wonder if they’ll do ok
with Rodinal in the Jobo, or if I should take the time to hunt down some D-76
somewhere and mix up a batch for the Kodak films.
I’d do stand developing in diluted Rodinal instead (1+50), but don’t have the
sealed lids for the drums, only the geared cog lids.
Thanks,
Thor
