Well, my 60 minute rodinal development is semi-stand:
- First pour water into containers and let it stand for a while to let the temperature settle to room temp. Normally temperature is around 23 degrees of celsius.
- Mix the rodinal solution and pour it into developing tank
- Make proper inversions for one minute and let the tank stand for 30 minutes, then make 10 inversions and let it stand for another 30 minutes.
- Use water as a stopper for 15 inversions
- After that add the fix and do 4 inversions per minute for 8 minutes in total
- Rinse with water: 5 inverions and change-10 inversions and change- 15 inversions and change
- Final rinse with deionized water and hang to dry
This is the protocol that has worked for me. I tried to do reduce the inversons in the middle to 3, but the results didnīt look as good as with 10 inversions.
