Manuel, I think you did fine under the circumstances. Keep in mind that
Rodinal is not a fine-grain developer and Tmax 3200P is certainly not a
fine-grain film! Pulling it would have helped though. Contrast is okay
and I think the grain is good considering the film/developer combination.
When you go back, get yourself some Tri-X and soup it in D-76 @ 1:1, I
reckon that's the combination you want.
