Response to Rodinal Shipping

AGFA Rodinal obviously is very different to the classic AGFA formula. Simply have a look at the ingredients listed on the bottle. AGFA Rodinal now contains a restrainer, R09 does not and is very clear working. Also R09 is more concentrated, which means that AGFA Rodinal is more "watered down". The results differ a lot in a direct comparison and everything speaks for R09. By the way: R is short for Rodinal. 09 designates the receipe no 9 in the AGFA receipe book. Calbe was formerly part of ORWO, the East German AGFA company. When the two companies split up in the 1970s and East German AGFA gave up its name and trademarks they started selling Rodinal under the new name R09. Unfortunately it is not available through a US dealer, but Fotoimpex is an excellent source. They are specializing in male order to the US and have special shipping rates. Look for my other postings concerning the differences between the two "Rodinals".
