Very useful post, Neal! Thanks!

The developer is technically Adanol. The bottle was opened less than a year ago. (I did not date the bottle; thought that unnecessary with this developer!)

I do not pre-mix rodinal or Adanol. ...

Before I dispose of the rest of this bottle, I will run a test with some 35mm film. If it passes the test, I might keep the bottle for smaller films. I might even research whether developing 320TXP...

Here is an update: This morning I finally got around to testing the Tri-X I have been using--this time shot with a different lens (I have tested the previous lens's shutter and it is working...

Just a quick update: The negatives do not have the "Kodak 320TXP" mark, or anything else--uniformly clear. Also, something changed since November, because I have a couple good results from then. ...

Thanks, Michael! I really love TF-5!! Glad to hear I don't have to change brands. I think I will mix up a fresh batch, though, after I get through with all these tests.

Four minutes in TF-5 is...

As I make my way through all this great advice, I might have to try this. Very useful, deductive advice. Thanks, Harold!

Wow, Neal! That's so logical! Very useful stuff, thanks!

I will definitely try that. I am away from home for a couple days so I can't try until tomorrow evening--and I will check for the TXP320 market then, but I truly doubt it's there.

I have a tall Patterson tank that holds the Mod54 sheet holder; a liter of fluid covers it nicely. I use a liter of water and 20 ml of Rodinal. I am usually so anxious to see my results that I...

Thanks, Steve! The prewash poured out deep blue, but the developer came out with just a slight blue tint.

Good info about what causes the pink color.

Thanks, Peter! I will give xtol a try!

Thanks for the response! I keep all my chemicals (including Rodinal) at room temperature. (Tobias took up your thread, so I am considering most of your great suggestions in my response to him.)
...

Thanks, Tobias! Your post makes me a bit less inclined to test the fixer I am using, but to run a test with a fresh fixer of a different brand. The brand I have been using for everything for a...

A very thorough response, Daniel! Thanks! I will work through your instructions and find out what went wrong. I certainly don't want to have this persist.

The Rodinal itself is under a year...

Thanks, Kevin. This bottle (Adox version) is less than a year old, and has successfully done other film, but maybe not since I started having this problem. I will inspect the color. (I always use...

I have been having trouble with my developing routine. The film comes out clear.

The routine is a 1 minute prewash at 68-degrees F. Rodinal 1+50 for 17 minutes at 68-degrees F., normal agitation....
