I have two unopened cases, one of APX 100 and one of APX 400. I'm trying to find a developer that is unrefined enough that the 17 years they've been in storage won't make a difference. Right now I'm looking at CineStill D-96 Monobath. If there was ever a developer that sounds like a bad idea, it's a developer that is mixed with the fixer. But I did a roll of it as a test, and it isn't all that bad. It comes in packets dry powder that are good (I think) for 20 rolls, just using the stuff straight. For a war photographer in a foreign country, it would be fabulous [if they hadn't invented the digital camera]. > On Jan 21, 2021, at 1:07 PM, Don Dory via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > Just a suggestion from another hobby is to buy in quantity and stack it > deep.
