<p>What's the difference between plain Rodinal and Rodinal Special?</p>

<p>Bill, plain Rodinal is grainny developer, while Rodinal Special is fine grain B&W developer<br>

particularly suitable for developing Kodak Technical Pan film and other type of microfilms.<br>

It is basicially a phenidone Hydroquinone developer:</p>

<p>The formular for Rodinal Special:<br>

Rodinal Special SB: Wasser dest. 15 ml Kaliumbromid 1,5 g Kaliumsulfit - Lsg. 45% 35 ml Triethanolamin 40 ml Hydrochinon 4,0 g Phenidon 0,5 g EDTA Na2 2,5 g Wasser auf 100 ml auffüllen pH - Wert Konzentrat 10,3 bis 10,4 pH - Wert Lösung 9,40 bis 9,50 Das Rezept beschreibt das Konzentrat. Es wird für den Gebrauch 1+15 verdünnt</p>

<p>Another version of Rodinal Special:<br>

<p> Rodinal Special has long shelf life like Rodinal, it is also easy to prepare, to develop one roll<br>

of Minox B&W film, only one ml concentrate is needed</p>

<p>-That's a good news... now can some one tell me if the formula of agfa films came buck again? I keep my breath...</p>
