Please, do you know the time of developer of Agfa APX 400 _new_ in Acutol ? Thanks and escuse me for my no correct english.

The Massive Dev Chart (http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html) doesn't give a time for Acutol with APX 400 (new). However, they give a time for APX 400 "original" as 9 minutes for 35mm or 12 minutes for larger rollfilm sizes (1+9 dilution @ 20°C). Since the development times for the new film appear to be a couple of minutes longer than the original (12 minutes for D-76/ID-11 as opposed to 10 minutes), you could probably just add a minute or two to this time as a starting point. (Of course, some developers have shorter times with the new film, so you might want to experiment with both longer and shorter times.) And your English is correct enough. (Better than my Italian!)  SignatureI was quickly apprised that an "RSS feed" was not, as I had naively imagined, some new and unspeakable form of sexual debauchery practised by young persons of dubious morality, but a way of providing news articles to the cybernetic publishing moguls of the World Wide Wait so they can fill the airwaves with even more useless drivel. - Cynical shop talk from comp.publish.prepress > Please, do you know the time of developer > of Agfa APX 400 _new_ in Acutol ?

You shouldn't develop it at all in Acutol.Acutol is meant only for slow films(~125 asa). -- Dimitris Tzortzakakis,Iraklion Crete,Greece Analogue technology rules-digital sucks http://www.patriko-kreta.com dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr the return adress is corrupted > Please, do you know the time of developer > of Agfa APX 400 _new_ in Acutol ?

I use Acutol for all films, and it performs splendidly on today's fine-grain high-speed films. Michael: do times for APX 100/400 and Tmax 100/400 listed on Digital Truth for Paterson?s developpers refer to the new versions of this films?

I am not sure. Try 1+14 for 8 minutes at 20C/68F and see how that works. That's where I suggest you start, because several other 400-speed films develop at that time. You need to run several trials to get it exact. |
