I have been using Xtol for so long I almost forgot to look in my cabinets. Well the other day I saw my Rodinal sitting there all lonely and seeing I wanted to try Acros in it This is what happened. It was a harsh light day but I think the 1-100 stand pulled it off and the grain is nice and fine...

Sure like that baseball shot, Larry.  What a goodun.
It's funny, in all my years I've never used Xtol.  Used D76 1:1 for so very long, with Rodinal as my second
favorite.  PC-TEA and Acufine about rounded out my stores.  One day a few years ago, I went wild and tried
HC-110.  Still a D76 man, but HC is very handy. 

How long did you let this roll stand?

I got pretty big grain with my first attempt at semi-stand in Rodinal, but was pleased overall with the contrast.  I like the baseball pic, too. 

In my roll of Arista Premium 100 that I shot for Red Oktober (in my FED-2), I visited the boneyard and saw a grave decorated for Halloween.  I thought that was very touching, that this young man's family would take the trouble to do it.  There was even a trick-or-treat bucket by the plaque, with a beer in it!

Pete. I found that Tri-X is not the best film for this method.

Wasn't Tri-X, was Arista Premium 100.

Hmm I always thought Plus-X looked pretty good in it. Oh well we all have different experiences.

Here are a couple of examples from my semi-stand experience:

Wow those seem pretty contrasty for stand/semi stand.... If I got that on the first roll I would have gone to 1-200 on the next roll. Could also be the person who scanned them as I know you don't own a scanner.
