Comments about Photographers' Formulary Photographer's Formulary Rodinal, Paramino Phenol Film Developer, Powder Makes 32 Ounces of Stock Solution.:

I've never used this particular product BUT back in the early 1970s I used Rodinal diluted 1:50 with a sodium sulfite solution -- I've long since forgotten the exact sulfite concentration, but it was roughly the same sulfite content as D76 1:1 -- to develop Tri-X, exposed at about 320. Development time was long but the results had a near-grainless creamy gradation that was absolutely perfect in portraits.

So Rodinal isn't just for super-high-acutance Panatomic sorts of stuff...
