Agfa 12 ST-2 Orwo 12 modern equivalent developer

Does anyone know which developer would be the modern version of this?
Agfa 12
St-2
Orwo 12

Something like D-76?

I have
Rodinal
HC-110
and Rodinal special
but I guess none of them is similar.

Basically I have some old Svema FN64, Orwo NP15, Tasma films and would like to use a similar developer that was in use, but without mixing chemicals. I just don´t have the possibility to do that at least for now and to order chemicals to Iceland is complex.
One day though I will mix my own.

I know lot of people develop it in Rodinal 1+25 for 6-7 minute.
But would like options and if possible to buy a ready mixed similar chemical.

This formula looks a bit like D-23 plus Sodium Carbonate and Potassium Bromide, very unusual by today's standards, and I don't think you will get anything like it prepackaged. Note, that Rodinal and D-76 were older than this Agfa 12.

If you want the look - take appropriate old lens a well. I did used Rodinal with old Svema, but with modern nikkor lenses. Results were just fine, but no "older" look than for example efke (adox) films.

darkosaric has a very good point. For that old look, which I prefer myself by the way, you need old glass.

This example probably isn't what you're looking for, but it's sorta interesting. When I first started developing I was getting all sorts of odd looks. Now, unfortunately, I know what I'm doing and cannot replicate those earlier "mistakes". It's a pity, as some of the earlier stuff had an old look to it that I liked a lot.

Hi momus,

if you want mistake and old look that you will not be able to repeat (again) - take some old expired B&W film from ebay, some old box camera and develop semi-stand in Rodinal 1+100 for one hour .

Joke on the side - what method did you used before (lens, film, developer...)? Maybe we can help ?

I have both Soviet rangefinders and Zeiss medium format folder - Nettar 518 and Ikonta IV.
So far I have developed these films in Rodinal, but I just tried a stand development - got to scan and process the photos in Rodinal/HC-110 Combo.
I have created albums for test rolls

and the results of these old films should be here as well:
