I didn't catch your last name. I've some experience with the film: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2003/34.html (Rodinal) http://www.dlridings.com/paw2003/35.html (Rodinal) In a situation more like you speak of: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2003/37.html (Rodinal) The new version of APX (and that is what you will have) really wants to stay around at EI 400 and nothing else: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2004/49.html All at EI 800 in Xtol. Bottom line ... Agfa APX doesn't really deserve its reputation for being a grainy film. You can get wonderful tones out of it and it really resists blocking up in the highlights, but the whole tonal range gets pretty compressed when you fool around with it. If you want grain like golf balls, go with Tmax 3200. Daniel Ridings On Fri, 7 Jan 2005, wrote: > > Anyone have experience with this film?
