My understanding is that it is fairly film-dependent. I have had good results with Tri-X and Acros at 1+100 in Rodinal. My recommendation would be to do a few trial rolls first (don't shoot anything important just yet) and then check your negs later for any evidence of "drag" or streaking. Also, note that with stand developing you really do have to leave the film completely undisturbed after the first 30-60 seconds of agitation. Resist the urge to agitate, tilt, or even touch the tank during development. Dean — I have done some stand developing, but not much. My understanding is that it is fairly film-dependent.

A question from a beginner:

what has been your experience with stand developing, i.e., 1:100 dilution for one hour?

I developed three rolls of B&W and have vague idea about storing my developed films. You gave me insights. Thanks, now I think I have to find some file sleeves, and borrow a scanner to archive my works. Thanks a lot, which translates to "terima kasih banyak" here. :) Hi, and thanks for the advice.

Your photoshop work-up looks particularly interesting. Image sharpening skills seem to be one of the keys to good black and white in the digital age. Thanks for putting this together.
