David, I've been using Microdol lately with a few films (not APX100 however). It's quite nice with FP4, so I would expect it to work well with APX 100. I like it diluted 1:2. It's just about as sharp as at 1:3, but the times are shorter. Another thing to try is adding 1 teaspoon(4 grams) of Sodium Ascorbate per liter of working solution. It reduces the grain a bit, is very sharp, and reduces the time even more. I may be in the minority here, but I am not a big fan of Xtol, it's too middle of the road for my taste.
