So about a month ago I finally gave in a and bought a bottle of Rodinal after hearing many good things. I purchased Adox Adonal from freestyle and the bottle was labeled (Adox Adonal- produced according to the latest Rodinal formula). I currently develop and scan for myself and 3 friends and I go through a lot of developer (they help with the cost and shoot with me), so last week I decided to order 4 more bottles. I got them today and they are labeled (Adox Rodinal- Identical to the product sold in europe under the Adonal name). Now I understand that Rodinal was originally and Agfa product and that Agfa is no more, I also had thought that I read that it was sold in the U.S. as Adonal because of a copyright dispute over the Rodinal name. So what gives? Do they simply bottle it as both and it gets shipped wherever it ships? Or is there a massive copyright nightmare involved somewhere? Not really a big deal I'm just curious.
