Some film just doesn't work well with Rodinal. E.g. HP5 comes out too grainy.

I mix the two 100ml Xtol stock+400ml water with 5ml of Rodinal, a pinch of Borax. I particularly like Pan F and Tmax 400 with the mix.

How does this affect development times compared to only Xtol or only Rodinal?

I appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos. A quick question, have you ever measured out (by weight) partial batches of developer? For instance make a quart of XTOL rather than a gallon. You have introduced some developers I would like to try. But I would never use them up before they went bad if I made the complete packet of the developer.

No ive never tried that! I’ve thought about it though. Even the batch of XTOL I just recently mixed up, I don’t know if I’ll get through all of it before it goes bad! It’s worth a try. Can’t go wrong if it’s measured correctly I suppose. Also thank you for watching! It’s much appreciated

@@TheNegative if I do it perhaps I will do comparisons and share the results with you. First roll of first batch or something like that. I have some Arista which is perfect for this kinda thing. Not expensive and I don’t photograph anything I care about with it.

Xtol is so cheap that I just make the 5 liters and split it between a gallon jug and a 32oz bottle. Then I just use it one shot and if it goes bad before I use it all it doesn't really matter to me because I get a lot of rolls developed before that happens and it only costs 15$ for 5 liters.

Doesn't look that different in this example. Would be more interesting to test the complete opposite developers to each other. For example D-19 VS POTA on the same film.
