I went on a Coach trip to LEWES in Sussex and for B&W took an A12 back loaded with the last 120 roll of 1987 dated Kodak PANATOMIC-X I had been given years ago - well - previously I had got good results with RODINAL 1+50 for 18 mins @ 2oC so I repeated it for this last roll and a BUMMER - the negs were THIN!! I had to use all my ' Software Beginner Skills' to adjust as best I could but here are some results from the 80mm f2.8 Zeiss Planar T*CT lens

What kind of Rodinal you use? I just got too thin negatives with Compard R09 that does not seem to age well.

i used some 'RODINAL ' SENT TO ME by a FLICKR Friend in an Unmarked plastic container, so it may NOT have been 'Original AGFA Formula' 'RODINAL'
