Response to Verichrome flim and Rodinal

I used PXP in rodinal 1+50 & I didn't find any pronounced edge effect (?!). I don't know but if you want midtones stay away from rodinal. rodinal edge effect is more pronounced with faster films. For me slow films like Verichrome, PXP & PanF plus work better with d-76 1:3 & Xtol 1:1 or stock. The beautiful tonal gradation of these films get lost with rodinal. These films are acutance films anyways, not like Tmax. I recently made my FX-1 from scratch. The edge effect is more pronounced & the grain look "different", but still I need more experimentation to tell you my final opinion about it.
