Bob,
I use APX 100 exposed at 100. I develop it in Rodinol 50:1 for 17 minutes,
as Agfa recommends. I get negatives that work well for me. If 17 minutes is
too long for you, try D76 1:1 for 12 minutes. This is also a good
combination. GIve it a try, and I think you wil like the results.
Sincerely,
Joe Stephenson
