Great Developer But Buy A Syringe

The tried and true Rodinal is delivering great results for me and there's no reason to complain with its functionality. Perhaps the only bad thing is you usually dilute it by 1+50, so for smaller developing tanks that's 5~10ml. You definately can't measure this amount with regular graduates, so better buy a syringe with it.
