Sorry to chime in so late on this one, but it sounds like that to me, too. Can you wrangle out of the lab their time/temp for APX 100? Should be around 7 min. @ 21 C. I processed a fair amount of 4x5 APX 100 in HC-110 dilution B, and the results were uniformly excellent, particularly tonal range. How is the base density of the neg? APX 100 should be virtually clear where there is no exposure. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
