Subject: Re: [Leica] Agfa films: RSX & APX OT film question

Kodak provides data for APX in their tables:

http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j109/j109.jhtml#DEVELOPMENT%20TABLES

Let's hope that makes it in one line ...

Otherwise, it doesn't take long to get their from www.kodak.com, products,
photochemicals etc.

I'm curious about the results. I've tried a few rolls of APX 400 in 120
format. There's no doubt about it being a fine film. I've used Rodinal for
it, according to Agfa's recommendations.

Not a particularly good print (or should I say scan ... it's scanned from
a print). I'll probably stick to Neopan 400 for medium format, but APX
could come in handy for contrasty situations without losing shadow detail.
