I finally bought Rodinal! I contacted many places and stores before with no luck, even Adox they apologized and said they cannot ship it. Freestyle and others are describing it as ORM-D which cannot be shipped except ground shipping.
Enjoy :)
After 2 years or so, I came across macodirect.de and asked them about R09 one shot (Rodinal formula) and they said they can ship about everything they sale (also rollei and fuji c-41 chemicals which others don't ship internationally).
I shot ilford HP5+ at iso 200 and went ahead with developing, and I was surprised that I can see the grain through 5x loupe and see it clearly! I'm not bothered with the grain as film contain grain and that's what makes it special. HP5+ is a classic cubical grain and it's extremely beautiful with Kodak HC-110. I'm just a little disappointed that after all this wait I believed Rodinal was really special, but I discovered (up until now) I can do the same with HC-110 and do it easily. However, I only tried it with HP5+ and recently with ilford Delta 100. Both looked normal to me, but since Rodinal has a great shelf life I can still try on many other films and keep experiment with it.
Photos will follow.
Enjoy :)
