Rodinal: Back to 1:50 from 1:100

I really liked the lazy style of [semi]stand B&W film development with 1:100 Rodinal. But there was uneven development (and repetitive streaks originating from the sprocket holes) on some film.

I tried pre-soaking a film and a little more agitation, but it didn't help much. Perhaps I should use a very aggressive agitation (for an hour!), which goes against the spirit of [semi]stand development.

So I went back to the 1:50 solution: developing in about 10 minutes with moderate agitation. In this case, the uneven development was gone.
