I haven't been able to find any information on developing APX 100, 135 in HC-

110; there's some info on medium and large format APX in HC-110, but I'm not

sure how relevant this is to 135. So here's my question....

I'm ready to develop some test rolls but want to get a ballpark temperature

and agitation time for this combination to start. Any suggestions?

Or, do people strongly suggest not using this combination, and develop the APX

in Rodinal? I have a lot of HC-110 (I usually shoot TriX) and Rodinal is not

so easy to come by. In addition I have only 2 rolls of APX which I want to

develop (after I do the test rolls).

Thanks for your time and attention.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Photos, from XP2 Super at a local lab, printed color paper probably won't be good enough. I'll try to find out if my NGO has film scanning capabilities, if so, I'll use a fair amount of XP2 Super. I'm not quite ready to abandon traditional B&W so I'll also bring my standard Tri-X and try out some Delta 400.

Cheers,

I've used Tri-X for 2 years now but have reached the point where I

want to explore the potentials of other films. Early next month I'm

off to Cambodia to work for an NGO for at least 4 months. Part of

my work there will be to do photography for the organisation.

Does a film like XP2 Super, in 35mm, (C-41 process) make sense to

use while on the 'road' and wanting results before returning home.

I doubt I'd be able to find a darkroom with all the chemicals

available in Cambodia to process traditional B&W film; maybe I'm

wrong but I won't know this until I'm there and have searched around

Phnom Penh. I've gathered that there are good photo preocessing

labs in the capital.

Has anyone picked XP2 Super for this reason, that is, being able to

develop it on the road where chemicals and darkrooms are not

available. With C41 I can get photos to my NGO and once I'm home I

can get into the darkroom to make some better quality prints.

Advice or suggestions appreciated,

Martin
