Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / April 2004AGFA APX 25
Hi all ! I have just bought few rolls of APX 25 in 135. I do not have this stuff enough to test it ... so: Please, give me some advices how to exposure and how to develop to see the full strength of that famous APX 25 ; )) Regards wkg > I have just bought few rolls of APX 25 in 135.

My favorite way to develop it was FX-2 (homebrew) as a stand developer for 45 minutes. (Agitate like hell for 1 minute and let it stand for 45 miniutes or so without agitation). Amazing edge effects and long tonal scale. Paul I gotta try this standing development. :-) Moda > > > I have just bought few rolls of APX 25 in 135.

The film, especially thin films like APX25 require only a few seconds to saturate adequately. Just rap the tank to remove bubbles, and walk away. No further agitation. A virtue of Rodinal 1:150 (for example) is that if you want N-1 then almost all films develop to completion in 50 minutes. Mix 'em up in the can. No problem. Will Ilford PanF+@iso25 be well developed in Rodinal 1:150 for 50 minutes. I'll try this next time I head for the darkroom ("m?rkekammer" in danish).
