Hallo ineed just a litle help or some suggestions.
I need to develop an agfa apx 25 and my soups are  Hc110, Xtol, id11 and
microphen.
Someone can help me in some starting point for developing or I've to use
Rodinal as datasheets? (But i don't like rodinal in 35mm format)

I suppose to start with my  usual starting point: 8 min in ID11 @24?C but ehm
ehm

Every help or suggestion is very appreciated.

Ciao,
Stefano

That sounds much too short for D-76 to me - 13 minutes at 1:1/20°C is
what I always used to use.

Not with a slow film like this!

That?s far less than the recomended time at digitaltruth for the stock
dilution!

Here's a site with some information:

http://www.fotoinfo.com/info/filmtimes/agapx25.html

They've got times for XTOL, ID11, and Microphen data, but not HC110
(unless something else there is an HC110 clone). I can't vouch for any of
that information, though, as I've never used APX 25.

The times shown are WAY too long.

Hallo guys!
I found with some experiments my times for the APX 25.
It took just two rolls and four pieces but the satisfaction is great---

I someone is interested can read below.

I found APX 25 a meaty negative and I like so ooooo much.
I undervaluated and don't used since now, but now i think is a very  very good
film.
Just a little contrasty (but ok for my Durst M605 diffused light) for my
personal choice but a very nice tones and grain.

So for my diffusion enalrger i found this times very satisfacting:

Microphen type developer 1:1,
(recipe as suggested by mr Knoppow for id68 found now my personal standard)
9 1/2 minutes @ 24 ?C

HC110 B
7 minutes @ 20 ?C

D76/ID11 type 1:1
14 1/2 minutes @ 20 ?C
or 10 1/2 minutes @ 24 ?C

ciao guys!!

Stefano Bramato
