Rodinal

There are two ways in which I use Rodinal.

  1. As a normal developer
  2. For stand developing

I don’t usually do stand developing, but I find it especially useful for mystery film. Occasionally at markets I’ll find either very expired film, or something that was bulk rolled from an unknown origin. I find stand developing gives me a nice workable image. I don’t think I would prefer it over using a regular developer in other cases.

Normal Developing (1+50)

Continuously agitate for the first 30 seconds. Then for the first 10 seconds every minute.
