Ok, so i currently develope my own B&W, but have only done iso 400 or lower. Exclusively with Rodinal @ 1:100 for 60min. Been getting great results, very happy.

My question, i have a couple of rolls of 35 and 120 Ilford 3200 to develope. I have read that rodinal is not so suited to high iso and grain supression. So what developer does everyone recomend for high ISO films.
