Hello everyone,

 

I am interested to use FP4+ in HC110, continues agitation (JOBO).

What would you recommend in terms of dilution and dev. Time ?

Best regards, Stavros

Thank you for the answers every one.

 

Ken, as I leave in Greece, with its long summers, it is very hard to work in the dark room, which at present has 31 C. Therefore the JOBO method in very convenient and also saves me water. You are very right about the highlights, this is something that I have started to work out slowly. I like acutance developers over fine grain and I think the �old� formulas have a better �character� then the new stuff that sometimes looks like plastic.

 

Best regards

Stavros

Greetings,

Has anyone used the Beutler formula in combination with continues

agitation ?? If so, what would be a good starting point for Delta

100 and the AGFA APX 100.

 

Million thanks

Stavros

Bill,

it's interesting what you say, what was the time - temp. - agitation

combination ??

Regards

Stavros

I am surprised that not many people talk about the Microdol-X 1+3 combination. I have been using it lately with the 6X7 format along with APX100 and HP5+ and so far the results are very promising, there is definitely a good balance between acutance - fine grain - and gradation. I would like to share my experience with any one who likes to know more about, plus I can scan and send you a sample picture too. Any feedback from another user on this combo would be highly appreciated.

Best regards, Stavros

Hello everyone !

I am trying to print portraits on FB paper that have a "silver look". I wonder if this is done via the paper & developer combination ? or toning process ? Many thanks for your input !! Stavros.

Has any one used this developer ?? I am keen in mixing it myself and use it with the Agfapan APX 100. The recipe is from THE FILM DEVELOPMENT COOKBOOK. Would greatly appreciate your ideas !!! Many thanks, Stavros

I have just started using Rodinal(1:25)with the Agfapan APX 100. I use the 6X7 format,and just want to know your combinations and recommendations. Million thanks, Stavros

Should one pre-wet the negative before developing ? some say no, others do this all the time. What would be the difference ? if there is one ??

Many thanks for your feedback !!

I use the AGFA APX 100, 120 roll in combination with the German made

TETENAL - NEOFIN BLUE. It's a one shot developer that makes per

bottle 500 ml. working solution. It maintains a small grain and very

high sharpness in detail, it also well balances the highlights and

shadows. It's worth testing it. Check the TETENAL.COM site. I used

Rodinal too but found NEOFIN much butter. Good luck !
