>>2692843Worked fine for me, though I always rehal processed mine back into colour.
Pic related, some old shitty random label expired film I processed in Rodinal, fixed, bleached, exposed to light, and re-developed in E-6 colour developer, bleached and fixed.
If the b&w neg was shitty and uneven, then the colour version would also be shitty and uneven, each one of these steps, was prefectly even and fine, or it'd come out shit, so of course you can do just b&w stage only and have fine normal results.
It'd likely just look like this but desaturated if i I didn't re-develop it.
>>2692854That's because you did it wrong to get uneven and bad results like that.
