DearMarty et. al.,

OK, I have found AGFA Technical Documentation T02 - 1 December 1972, 1st
Edition on the AGFA B/W Films. Alas only German, but the technical info
should be gleanable for those able to read curves and tables.

I will have this scanned into a PDF tomorrow and can mail it to you or
even post it on the list, if this is OK (=> Moderators?) or perhaps one
of you can then put it onto a web site and post the link.

Interestingly enough, for AGFA Ortho 25 they suggest best results are
with a positive (i.e. PAPER) developer:

Neutol NE or Neutol liquid NE: 2-4 minutes

Negative Developers:
Refinal (which became Rodinal-S I think): 10-12 minutes
Rodinal 1+10: 4-5 minutes

CONSTANT AGITATION! (Gamma 2-2.5 !)

Normal fixing but RINSE 20 minutes at room temp.

More tomorrow.

Love,
Snoopy
