[pure-silver] Re: Agfa APX 100

You know FP4 might be a good replacement for APX 100.  I too found Delta 100 
flat for my type of work.  But I do not think that anything will replace the 
APX 100/Rodinal combination.  Just my experience though.  Ten years ago I used 
D-76 allot but left it because of getting blown out highlights.

Delta100 is better than Tmax100, but is still kinda flat unless you get real
creative with filters and developing. I used to use apx 25, and apx100 all
the time. I get pretty good results with Ilford fp4 and d76 1:1
