After much reading and asking a few question I am reading to buy
some new chemicals. My objective is to get away from Kodak
chemistry only because with all the talk of them not going to
make film any more I can only assume that they will also stop
making chemicals.  I want to find a developer that will be
around for as long as I will be taking pictures so I can learn
the developers traits and master it so to speak for consistent
results without having to worry about always changing. I plan on
using film for a very long time.  For now I am using; TMAX
Developer Kodak Indicator Stop Bath Ilford Hypam Rapid Fix Kodak
Hypo Clearing Agent Ilford Ilfotol Wetting Agent  Now that
supplies are getting low it is time to buy in bulk and stock up.
I want to try some Rodinal as I read that it shelf life is just
amazing. With Rodinal will I still need stop bath or just a
water bath and will the rapid fix work or do I need a different
type. Is hypo clearing agent needed?  Ok, now for the next part.
