Response to Acros 135 in Rodinal? Acros EI?

from jeff callen (jeff@newcity.com)
I've developed ACROS in Rodinal (both 120 and 35mm)

1:50 10-12 minutes at 68F (first minute, constant mild agitation, 5 seconds each minute after)

I did find that the 120 seemed to need slightly less development than the 35mm to get the same density negatives.

Quality: different, but not really that much better than TMX, some shots are VERY smooth, I like it more than Delta 100, but I never really liked Delta 100 in Rodinal. ACROS does seem slightly finer grained, but with a bit less of a sharpness "bite" than TMX.

I've also developed some ACROS in Diafine, with pretty good results.

Film Speed : Seems to be slightly below 100ASA, I guess-expose most of my images anyway, so I just go 1/2 stop down from what I would normally guess for 100ASA.
