For me it is. When I'm using this to calculate exposures, I'm transported to another era, one when people took their time and spray and pray was a term known only to those who sat too near the pulpit when the vicar was delivering his sermon.

I never left that zone. Actually my light meter was built for digital cameras so the era is still here. . But not quite understand this: "one when people took their time and spray and pray was a term known only to those who sat too near the pulpit when the vicar was delivering his sermon."
BTW I read about your way of developing the film. OK, by the book, but try this: instead of the bare minimum of 290 ml go for 350. Don't place the reel at the very bottom but bit above so there is some developer above and underneath. I am using my pinky for that distance so pinky below and pinky above. I can't explain that technically, but it makes for much more even development.

My Gossen Luna-Pro looks very similar to this.

This is a Gossen Sixtar.

A vicar is a parish priest and a sermon is a speech or lesson that they deliver, often very enthusiastically, from a raised platform called a pulpit. The members of the congregation sitting near to or just under the pulpit sometimes get sprayed by the gushing speech of the vicar when they go to church to pray on Sunday.

These days, lots of people take hundreds of photos when out shooting and hope to get one or two that they can keep: spray and pray.

Thanks for the tip about the 350 ml and the little finger placement, I'll try this with my next roll.

Ha ha ! I get it. Yes, pulpit, in my country we call it "ambona", usually with baldachin. But I was never sitting that close to it, to get sprayed.
In opinion of many "spraying" with digital camera is actually doing bad service to photographers for many reasons. AA even didn't like the idea of 36 frames.

There is many "tricks" in film development. You will be ready (I hope for curiosity) to move on from Rodinal and explore this, I'll be here.
