Reticulation ; Rodinal/Konica IR

[bcasselb@xxxxxxxxxxx (Bill D. Casselberry)]

  Hi all,

	on a friend's recommendation I tried souping a 35mm roll
	of the Konica in Rodinal (1:75 for 9min)  the negs look
	good, a bit less starkly contrasty as w/ D-76, though I 
	think the very contrasty ones were my own fault in over-
	exposing a brilliant white structure in the low evening
	light  ;^).

	anyway, -- the film came out with a mosaic pattern, a
	very consistent one much like a stone walkway. relatively
	uniform shapes and rather "arty", so not a total loss  :)
	I followed the Rodinal agitation instructions - constant
	for first minute & 5s/min for the duration. Being my first
	Rodinal experience, I did a "moderate inversion", trying
	for neither too vigorous nor too gentle.

	As all the developing solutions were evenly temperatred, I
	suspect either an agitation cause or perhaps the slightly 
	warmer wash bath for the reticulation.  Any ideas &/or tips
	for using Rodinal by others here would be highly appreciated,
	as I have heard lots of good things about it as a developer.

						Thanks ......
