Agfa Copex RSD (Slide direct)

[Rhodes]

Agfa Copex RSD (slide Direct) in Rodinal or XTOL? I only have this two developers in the moment. SHould I use has starting points the times of similar iso films in those developers?

The film is originally designed for copy work. Using it in normal shooting conditions definitely requires a tripod.
The film has negative ISO value.

I would do some tests for real ISO first. Maybe with Rodinal, because with dilution you can adapt Rodinal best for getting the contrast you want.

I've seen samples of this film, but never used it by myself so far (still waiting in the fridge).

Rodinal 1:100 20m or one hour stand?

I think 1+100, normal development, is a good point to start the tests.

Is this a different emulsion compared to Agfa Copex Rapid ?

Yes, completely different!

RSD is a copy film which gives a positive image in a normal BW developer. So you get a BW slide without reversal processing (works with solarisation).

But the sensivity of this material is extremely low. For its intended use for copy work that doesn't matter.
But for normal photo work you definitely need a tripod.

Here are some samples:
