I have a box of double-sided green that I've been slowly going through since 2008. Kept in the fridge. No loss of sensitivity. Since this is closeup work, did you remember to factor in bellows extension?
I did for a few of the shots. I've narrowed it down to the unthinkable due to other issues I've had with some films. You may want to sit down for this and have the kids leave the room.
I think my Rodinal is dead.
Or dying. It's near the bottom of the bottle and I've had it for nearly 10 years. I know legend is that it never dies but I think this is gone. I'm going to run another test today and use a different developer, no bellows extension and a different light meter.
You are probably right. This happened to me with a half full bottle, that had been sitting in my darkroom for about 10 years.
But this can't be! Everyone said the stuff lasts for decades!
The stuff from the 1980s lasted decades. Older bottles too. Since Agfa folded and Tetenal (?) picked up manufacturing the stuff, we don't know, because it hasn't been long enough.
Crown Graphic, MIN-R ISO 100. HC110 1:100 7min. f/5.6 1/400 I think.
I can't find Rodinal or derivatives anywhere right now. I ordered one on back order. Guess I'll tweak the HC110 formula meanwhile.
Hey Cholentpot,
That looks really excellent. I really like MINR. Glad you were able to find some!
interesting how the red flowers go deep black.
