ADONAL (RODINAL) 500ml

Agfa — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:42:47 -0500

ADONAL (formerly RODINAL) 500ml B&W One-shot film Developer

RODINAL is characterised by very good contour sharpness and high emulsion speed yield. The subject contrast can be influenced by varying the dilution of the concentrate. Mixing: 1 part concentrate to 25 or 50 parts water at a temperature of 20� C. Shelf life: The concentrate remains usable for at least 6 months once the bottle has been opened if the screw top is tightly closed.

When diluted for use, RODINAL only keeps for a short time and therefore should only be mixed immediately before use.

Developing times at 20� C � Dilution 1 + 25 or 1 + 50 (Small tank processing) Agitation: Small tanks � continuously for the first minute, and then tilt every 30 seconds. The film development times listed below are guidelines. Through variations in processing the result can be influenced according to requirements.

Click here for a PDF that contains Agfa�s recommended times for numerous films.

Note: due to name licensing the product name and packaging has been changed to "ADONAL". The formulation to the original Rodinal is identical.

Product is shipped directly from Germany.

Prime quality, handmade camera case, made in Japan, available in black and brown leather.

A quality camera case will make your valuable camera even more presentable and also protect it from inevitable external knocks, while at the same time be smooth in the hands when using it. For some models a detachable back cover protecting the LCD display is available as an option.

These camera cases handmade by an artisan, one by one, in the old center of Tokyo. Their quality and feel are extraordinary; "Perfume of REAL leather, high quality finish and stitching" writes one satisfied customer.
