james_loftus Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 With the demise of APX 25 (120) I'm forced to move to 4x5. <p> Which film is the sharpest and has the greatest contrast range in Xtol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_kemner Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 My experience is that Xtol 1:3 and FP4+ are an exceptional combination. APX100 doesn't do well in more dilute concetrations of Xtol although it performs well at 1:1. With APX I have returned to Rodinal with dilutions of 1:50 developed for 12 minutes at 68. Hope this helps. Check out the Darkroom Cookbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry_smith Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Everyone should do themselves a favor and try TETENAL's Ultrafin film developer!!! After doing several diferent DENSITY THRESHOLD TEST(s) with various films I have been amazed by the results.I am not a "Tech-Head" by any means--I just want a film and developer combination that gives meextreme sharpness and luscious tonal-range. TETENAL ULTRAFIN is the definitive developer when youare processing either by hand or with rotary such I do with a ATL-1000. I hope this product is availablefor years to come!!!
