Rodinal is SUPPOSED to exhaust itself a little as it works. That's the
ancient secret what accounts for its famous "look" at 1:50 and 1:100.
One loses that look at 1:25 and especially when using additives.

I use an 8 or 16oz Nikor tank unless I'm processing color, in which
case I use 32oz for 4 reels. IMO Nikor-type stainless tanks are better
than Patterson/JOBO et al in terms of even development. Just something
I've noticed :-)
