Panatomic-X  (at asa 50) was my film from 1975-85 T Max 100 was a pitiful replacement
but Delta 100 in Xtol 1:30 might even even be better.
It was nice to have APX25 there in case i ever wanted it but i never did.
The Delta 100 has become my high res film because of Xtol. (I don't think it
likes Rodinal)
Anybody try tech pan in Rodinal 1:100?
