Manufactured according to the last known original Agfa Rodinal formula from 2005.
Sharpness-enhancing developer in liquid concentrate form. Easy to use: Dilute / Develop / Pour away.
One of the most versatile developers ever, known worldwide, and with one of the most extensive collections of development projects.
500 ml of concentrate for dilutions ranging from 1+25 to 1+200. This developer is manufactured according to the last known original Agfa RODINAL formula. It uses selected, post-treated raw materials and is absolutely identical in formulation. To the best of our knowledge, this statement currently applies to no other para-aminophenol-based developer on the market that was manufactured after 2010.
RODINAL is the world’s oldest photochemical patent. The concentrate has a virtually unlimited shelf life—even though the bottle slowly becomes discolored after opening. Once diluted, it must be used quickly, as it rapidly loses effectiveness in dilutions greater than 1+25. Although there are development instructions circulating from the last century claiming that an ADOX 25 ASA film developed in Rodinal at a 1:200 ratio using static development would miraculously reach 400 ASA after 3 days, but we think any chemist would likely file this theory away under “curiosities.”
ADONAL/RODINAL differs slightly from APH09/R09 in that it has a slightly finer grain.
ADONAL/RODINAL also uses more expensive raw materials, which is reflected in the retail price.
