Then its good that R09 can be ordered that easily from Europe. A friend of mine -- professional photographer in Ohio -- regularly orders R09 from Berlin and it works fine. He never ran into problems and into surcharges. Since the bottle of the R09 has a European shipping approval (as Mirko told me) it can be sent to the US and the parcel must be handled by US mail. When I was in the US I also ran into the Rodinal problem. At first I took R09 along on the plane, but now it is much easier for me to order from Germany.(posted 8425 days ago)
