Loaded into the one-liter tank inside daylight changing bag. Pre-wet film for ~20 minutes. During the pre-soak, mixed 14mL Rodinal (5mL/roll, plus 1mL/roll/stop pushed) in ~900mL distilled water. Poured developer in and topped off with distilled water. Agitated 40x over the first minute, then one more at 60:00. All agitations are half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).
After two hours, disposed of developer, rinsed in ~70 degree tap water. Mixed up a new batch of Arista fixer 1+4 (Jesus, does that stink, even compared to other fixer). Fixed 6 minutes (that’s now 2 rolls from this batch of fixer), inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Reclaimed fixer and rinsed for ten minutes in tap water, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank with tap water and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
