Rodinal is a fantastic developer.  Since XP2 has no
color coupler dyes in it, it can be developed
conventionally.  However, as it is made for c41 - I
only develop with standard B&W chemistry for a
different look.  

I use a Jobo for film processing and with XP2 follow
this format:  
1. Presoak (continuous agitation) for 5 minutes.  
2. Develop in Rodinal 1:25 for 5 min at 68 degrees.  
3. Quick water bath instead of a stop bath.  
4. Fix for 5 minutes.
5. Orbit Bath or Permawash for 2 minutes.
6. Wash for 10 minutes, Photoflo, hang to dry   

This really accentuates the grain - and it works in a
pinch if you don't want to use 1 hour processing.  And
as it is quite experimental - bracket your exposures.

Good luck,
Don
