I just bought a small package of Rodinal. I don't know if it comes with a chart as I haven't opened it yet, but I'd be pleased to have a copy of yours. I couldn't find Agfapan 100 at the store I visited today, but I'm sure I can get it elsewhere in town. In my previous photographic life, I used Microdol X, both straight and 1:1. It's a very slow acting fine grain developer. Recently, I've been using D-76 1:1, which is a moderately slow soup. I'm going to try the Rodinal soon. I wonder how it might work with the T-grain films. I've found that T-Max 400 (of which I have an ample supply thanks to you :-), is much better in D-76 1:1 than it is in the relatively hot T-Max developer. I wonder how it might look in the Rodinal 1:100? Perhaps I'll try it. But I'd like to see the Agfapan. I'm not sure that I'm committed to the T-Grains. It's been a long time since I've shot a good quantity of conventional BW. Best, Paul
