APX 25 is Agfa's ISO 25 mono neg film. And it's a cracker. Very long tonal
range, tight but crisp grain structure, potentially very sharp. I used to
develop it in highly diluted Agfa Rodinal, or Johnson's Unitol (remember that?)
which I believe it pretty similar, and got some of the best negs I've ever seen.
