Response to Tweaking PanF/Rodinal

I disagree totally with John Hicks about gentle agitation. Slow and easy is the secret of Rodinol, so it doesn't come out looking like Weegie's Super XX in Dektol. You will get better shadow detail, less highlight blocking, better value separation without excessive contrast, and more uniform results roll to roll. As you can see, I'm a great fan of Rodinol, but for Pan F Ilfosol is a much better developing agent both for grain and sharpness.
