richard_urmonas Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Does anyone have experience pushing APX-400 to 1000-1600 ASA ?What were the results like ?How well does it compare to say 400TX, or HP5+ pushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimvanson Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Big grain, not the best tonality but it can be done. Go <a href="http://www.photo.net/photo/1272243&size=lg">here</a> to see an example of APX 400 @ 1600 in Rodinal 1+25 for a long, long, time.

scott_walton2 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I liked the APX films and they pushed nicely but IMOP HP5+ is finer grain and better tones. If you are going to push it, D76 works good as does HC110 B but why don't you try some Neopan (Fuji) 1600? You will get better tones (more shadow detail) and shot at 1000 or 1600, it has always been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_waller Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Pushing in Rodinal is not recommended, at best it could manage a one stop push. Try a proper speed developer such as Microphen. HP5 and Tri-X push much better, particularly HP5. I regularly used to push HP5 to 1600 ASA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
