john_galloway Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I need to shoot some fast moving events under poor lighting conditions and need film rated at no less than 800. I only use Rodinal. Any suggestions on what film pushed or therewise will give me some shadow detail without outragious grain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_brown5 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 You can't make a silk purse out of a sows' ear. Haul off and get a speed increasing/retaining developer like Acufine, Microphen, DD-X, Tmax, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_hicks___ Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Try HP5+ and add about 50g/L sodium sulfite to your Rodinal working solution; this will less the speed loss of using Rodinal and will take the graininess down just a tad. <p> But I do agree with Tim; what you want just isn't going to happen with Rodinal.

mark_sampson Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Forget the Rodinal. Use Tmax P3200, set meter between ISO 800-1200, develop in Xtol 1:1 according to your set ISO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_galloway Posted April 12, 2002 Author Share Posted April 12, 2002 Thanks for those responses. I have some Ilfosol S around. Anyone had experience with that and Neopan 1600 or Tri-x pushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_andrews Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Ilfosol doesn't work too well with fast film either. Microphen's probably your best bet.<br>Get the right tool for the job. You wouldn't use a hammer to fit a screw, just because it was handy, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
