Response to Rodinal Shipping

Rodinal is in fact shipped via airmail. Orders from Fotoimpex in Berlin are always shipped airmail, even though they may contain Rodinal or Calbe R09. The US postal service has to pass on parcels that have been accepted by the German postal service as being in accordance with mail regulations. In past emails I have stressed that Calbe R09, which is the original Rodinal formula, has much better working characterstics than AGFA Rodinal -- finer grain, better tonality, better acutance. The plastic container for Calbe R09 is certified for mail transportation in Europe and therefore can be shipped airmail to the US. People having problems buying Rodinal mailorder should consider purchasing Calbe R09 instead.
