Diane - 1ml rodinal to 100ml water. that's 4ml/200ml to fully cover 35mm, 6/600 to cover 120.
Pour in, agitate for a while then leave. I leave for 30mins[ish] then another 30mins on top. Less for films at box speed, more for pushed. Works for me

Here are some conversions - for what they are worth.

1ml = 0.033 fl oz
2ml = 0.067
4ml = 0.135
6ml = 0.202
10ml = 0.338

1 fl oz = 29.57ml

please don't shout if I am wrong - it will be the App not my brain  ;D

When I need to convert some measurement to some other, I often use http://www.onlineconversion.com/

It even converts parsecs into lightyears!

Awesome thanks Dianne! I noticed that b&h carries it but they don't ship it. I'm only a few hours from NYC but I'm not that desperate just yet to drive to b&h for developer :)

Rodinal is a very concentrate developer so the amount used to mix with water are tiny comparing to other chemicals, especially when doing stand development...  don't forget to buy a small measure tube or an "eye dropper" to use... it's a true "magic potion" ! :D
