RopINAL As a DEVELOPER.

Few amateurs know the developing
propertles Of Rodinal; and why? Be
cause they have never tried II. The
amateur who uses Rodinal is never
afraid OF over-exposed negatives. II Is
always ready for use, with the addi-
ton Of the required amount OF water.
Rodlnal may rightly be said to have
excellent keeping qualities. This applies
not only TO full bottles, but also to those
plrtly used. Although 1t has been OBJ
served that in opened bottles Rodinal
crows darker in color, still this change
produces no noticeable effects on the
working properties of the highly con-
centrated solution. Like all other diluted
alkaline developers, Rodinal prepared
for use by the addition OF a large pro-
portlou of water. naturally does not
keep so well. II 1t Is desired TO keep a
long time Rodlnal in a diluted condi-
lion, add instead of water, solution
containing five to ten per cent OF pure
sodium sulphite (crystais); always Keep
IN a dark place. For time exposures use:
Rodinal, one-half ounce; ten per cent
solution Of potassium bromide. one
half ounce; water, nine ounces.
Rodlnal does not stain the film or the
fingers. L. j. STATE
