Here I come again with my questions..

Has anyone developed SFX in Rodinal? If yes, what was dilution and developing time?

Greetings, I used to use Rodinal 1:25 for 7 minutes or so at 20C. The data from the Massive Developing Chart says 6 minutes, but I always gave it 7 for a lil extra contrast. The link to the massive dev chart is bellow.

I've shot quite a bit of this film lately. I dev it in Rodinal 1+50 for 10 min. I use a Nikon N-70 with the built in spot meter. A tripod is very useful with this film and I meter the shadow areas with my infrared filter on the lens, remove the filter, compose the photo, put the filter back on and then take the shot with the self timer.

I've also used HC-110 with this film and it's also a good dev.

I hope Ilford decides to make this film in 120, even if it is on a limited basis. It's not an everyday film for me, but quite a bit of fun.

I used to shoot SFX200 ina rangefinder setting the EI to 12
It helped me compose freely.
