Sure enough, behind the 1937 Leitz Valloy I couldn't bear to sell a few years ago I found an unopened 500ml bottle of Rodinal! A quick review of the week's LUG posts revealed the source of APX. I ordered 100 ft of the 100 and 400 each. Fortunately, in my defection to the "digital darkroom" I retained developing tanks, film dryer, and several bulk loaders as well as a lifetime's supply of plastic (no metal detector ) film casettes. Memory stimulated, I dug out film from my 1999 sabbatical trip around the world. Sure enough, there it was, "APX 100/ Rodinal 1:100" on the neg sleeves. Beautiful full range negs ready to print again, or, maybe to scan? If the bird flu don't happen, I'll be off to India in a year. I wonder if they still sell ORWO 125 there like they did in 1999. (Not a bad film, East Germany's finest, loves Rodinal.) Bill Lawlor
