Ok, how are you all getting such nice exposures with 400+ speed film and Rodinal?
It depends on many things... Rodinal gives you a straight contrast curve. The tonal range is nice for contrasty and sunny scenes. In an overcast day, you get somewhat a muddy look. You can change that by using color filters. I use an orange filter most of the time.
The rest...just meter using the zone system. Metering off a shadowy area and put in zone 3 to 4. Do a N+1 development time. +1 would usually work on most situations. With Rodinal, I use 16 minutes development time. 4sec agitations per minute. By the 10 minutes mark, I change to 4sec agitations per 2 minutes.
I DSLR scan can my negatives. The rest is just simple curve adjustments and adding a bit of contrast.
