Since the demise of Agfa there have been several generic versions of their iconic developer - Rodinal, non of which appear to be the same as the original with its legendary keeping qualities. Does anyone know what is the closest version to that manufactured by Agfa?
 
Adox Adonal claims the same formula as Agfa last used - see the Silverprint description
 
I use Fomadon R09 which I am happy with. It comes in a relatively small bottle and keeps just fine. I've read various discussions about the chemistry of the variations which just leave me wondering which rant to believe. At the moment I incline to believing there isn't much to choose between them.

If you particularly want a long lived developer, HC-110 seems pretty good too.
 
My homebrew of paracetamol, caustic soda and campden tablets keeps very well.
