I've run >some APX100 and found I had to increase the time dramatically as >compared with the "Massive Dev Chart" recommendations, and I was >hoping to get some real-world experience from other LUGgers. I shoot APX25 at both EI 25 and EI 50, processing it in accordance with the Kodak XTOL data sheet, downloadable from <http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j109/j10 9.shtml>. I use 1:1 dilution and usually process at room temperature (74F) according to the charts. For 35mm, I use normal agitation; for Minox submini format, I run minimal agitation and add 10% to the processing time. The results are a sharp, broad tonal scale, low grain negative with excellent gradation and density. I don't know what the "Massive Dev Chart" recommendations are, but this works for me. Godfrey
