Digital BW, The Print

I'm still using the same bottle I've had since 2003. I find, in 
general, that negatives developed in Rodinal are difficult to scan 
(the grain is unduly emphasized) -- Efke 25 is the exception to this 
rule. For me, at least, my ~ 350 ml of Rodinal remaining should last 
me a long time.

A number of companies sell Rodinal-like developers based on early 
commercial versions of Rodinal. There's lots of talk about this on 
www.photo.net and www.apug.org.
