Which developer do you suggest for APX 100 or Efke 25?

Like all developers, it's a question of trial and error and finding
something which *you* like. APX is an extremely "good-natured" film
and works well with many developers. Personally, I've found good old
"plain vanilla" ID-11/D-76 to work very well with it, as does Rodinal.

For the Efke, I've been pleased with the results I've obtained with
DD-X, but there is a caveat: I only use it in 120 format, where grain
is less of an issue than it would be in 35mm.

I found, that grain is not an issue with Efke 25. Much finer grain than
PanF+.
I used Rodinal 1+100.

Where do I buy Efke (I live in Denmark). Dows anyone know places on the web
who sells Efke?

I would use XTOL 1:2 dilution. This gives excellent film speed so you may
need adjust accordingly. Kodak no longer publishes times for 1:2 dilution,
but you can find times elsewhere or do your own testing (which you should do
anyway).


I agree with Mark here. XTOL, especially dilute XTOL, offers a very
nice balance of sharpness, fine grain, and enhanced shadow detail
without the sometimes annoying adjacency effects.

Now if it just offered stability.

D23



You are predictable on your love for D23. But it is well deserved.

I would also suggest Efke 25 in Rodinal. Outstanding sharpness and the film
takes care of the grain which ends up being very fine.

I'm sure that you've gotten an answer by now but you may want to think about
using 35mm Tmax with the Tmax developer. I've found that the only thing that
Tmax and Tmax-rs have in common is the name. I also think that Tmax is a better
developer.
