Long lasting and staying power of Rodinal

I've been using this developer over the years due to its ability to be long-lasting after opening it, unlike other developers which tend to lose their potency during nonuse.

Good Price for a Great Developer

Heard the reviews and thought I'd switch after developing with D76 for years. First roll turned out very well, nice fine grain structure at a 1+50 dilution. Will see how long it lasts as I develop more!

Great developer: works well with a wide variety of films and is shelf-stable for longer than it will (slowly!) take me to use it all.

Rodinal - one developer that works for many different situations

Adox Rodinal works very well for whatever I am working on, from B&W slides to pushing Tri-X film. I love the sharp grain - it adds the snap I want, and when I blow up the photo to extreme sizes, I get a snap in the grain that brings out that scene the way I want it.. It lasts forever and is very versatile.

Rodinal is my favorite

I use Rodinal for all of my b&w development. It gives acutance along with drawing out the salt and pepper grain. It’s also very inexpensive, requires just 10ml Rodinal to 500ml water per roll. A bottle will last you a long while. It’s also easy to store.

Great developer for X-ray film.

Works like it should... I finally used up my old bottle of Rodinal (10 years) and needed some new Developer. I love this stuff as it last just about forever. I use this on X-ray film at 1:200 dilution. 30 minutes development time with 2, 5 second agitation intervals. sunny = 100 asa Cloudy = 50 asa Temp was right around 70 degrees F. Works like a charm.

RODINAL is produced according to Agfa Leverkusen's latest Rodinal formula from 2004. It does not get more Rodinal than this. ADOX works together with former Agfa scientists on all Agfa-replacement products. If you have used Agfa Rodinal before you can achieve identical results with ADOX RODINAL. Compared to R09/APH09 Rodinal works more fine grained while still enhancing sharpness and acutance.

Confectioning:
• 100 ml conc. (Baby RODINAL)
