Rodinal will keep for a long time. In the old glass bottles, it would last forever but I think the new plastic bottles, if kept in a cool/dry/dark place, Rodinal should easily last for about 10 yrs. However, if you are not sure just test a piece of leader in the working solution before filling your tank. A piece of leader should turn black in 1/5th the time you planned to develop. PS. don;t sweat too much about it, there is already a company lined up to fomrulate Rodinal again.
hi all! with Agfa dropping the commercial & proffesional film & materials line entirely, I made a half-day long excursion to photo stores to assemble a stock that will keep me going for 3-5 years more. Among others i have purchased 2 bottles of Rodinal, that i believe it is of late manufacture. So i have two questions for the film users (now old-timers) of the group. Where is the date of manufacture located on the 0.5 lit bottle & box? There is something on the lip of the lid but I can not read anykind of date in this coding How long can Rodinal be expected to last when kept in the fridge? (talking about sealed bottles) I have been told that under proper conditions a lifetime of 2 years is expected, but from another source I have been told that Rodinal have been observed to be good even after 15 years!!! Coming from the considerable group commulative experience, what should i bet on? Many thanks, "the times a' changing" Kostas _____________________________________________________________________________________ http://www.mailbox.gr ÁðïêôÞóôå äùñåÜí ôï ìïíáäéêü óáò e-mail. http://www.superweb.gr ÏéêïíïìéêÜ êáé áîéüðéóôá ðáêÝôá web hosting ìå áóöáëÝò Åëëçíéêü controlpanel http://domains.europlanet.gr Ôï üíïìÜ óáò óôï internet ìüíï ìå 10 Åõñþ.
