D-76 or D-23 at 1;3 work well. Superb tones and almost no grain. Mike D Saganich, Christopher/Medical Physics wrote: > Rodinol at what dilution? At 1:50 the efke 25 tones are great but is uneven regarding grain. I've been using a standard Beutler formula with promising results, but I've haven't been able to nail down the processing to my satisfaction. I also like the Pyro and DiXactol in this regard. > > This may cause stress, but, Tmax 100 in Beutler does a nice job with the mids. > > Chris Saganich > > -----Original Message----- > From: daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no [mailto:daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no] > Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 2:39 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Perfect midtones > > Agfa APX 100 > Daniel > > On Thu, 31 Jul 2003, Martin Howard wrote: > > >>Imagine that you wanted a 35mm B&W film that gave superb midtone and >>highlight separation (you're less worried about shadows -- doesn't >>matter if they block up).
