jiri_bichler Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi! Does anyone have any experience with processing this film in Rodinal? Is it a good combination or rather not reccomendable? If exposed at nominal speed, what could be the times? What agitation? Any other reccomendations for processing? Thanks, Jiri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b3 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Take a look at the maddive dev chart and look under sfx 200. You will find that rodinal is a reccommended developer for SFX. However I remeber Ilford reccommending DD-X for that film. Look at the PDF on Ilfords site for more detail Massive dev chart http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html Ilford film doc list. http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/bw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_leest1 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 SFX is a very grainy film, and Rodinal will enhance the effect. D76 or XTOL might be a better choice, unless you a looking for the grainy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacsa Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Agfa also has the development sheets for rodinal and loads of films, including sfx, on its website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I found a handful of previous threads discussing SFX and Rodinal by searching using "SFX+Rodinal" as the search string. Here's one that mentions a specific suggestion for development time: http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=004SR1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j._raabe Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I've used probably 40 rolls of SFX in the last 2 years or so, and my favorite developer for it is Ilford DD-X. Rodinal (I use the R09 label) is fine, but I haven't been as pleased with it - in my opinion, the midtones get rather lumped together with Rodinal/R09, and DD-X does a fine job of seperating them without emphasizing grain, or killing shadows or highlights. In fact, for most uses, I use DD-X nowadays. Rodinal/R09 is a favorite of mine for Foma T200, and Efke films. -Josiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhalide1949 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I used D76 1:1 & was satisfied with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plato_arch Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I devved a roll recently in Ilford LC29 (their low cost dev) and was pleased with the results. I avoided Rodinal as I find results too grainy for speeds greater than 100iso (although that is a personal preference).<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
