Response to Rodinal Shipping

The actual prices may have changed, but a 250mm bottle of Calbe /Classic R09 was around only $4! The "standard" dilution is 1:40 instead of 1:25 of AGFA Rodinal thus makin R09 go further than the AGFA product. I use it a 1:100, which give me 25 liters of working solution. The flat fee shipping fee of Fotoimpex used to be roughly equal to the hazardous material surcharge (that applies for Rodinal in the US) plus the shipping and handling fee from the large US mail order companies. I did not see much of a difference even for one bottle shipped in from Europe and -- as you point out -- you can order several at a time to make it more economical. Also it is not only the price the makes me buy R09, it is the better quality.
