Cuz they're sharper and have smaller grain. Weird. . . The sharpness I acheived from the HP5 in Perceptol blows away any Tmax that I've done in D76 or in Tmax but I there is obvious grain with the HP5 vs the Tmax.. that I don't expect to change. I'm going to have to try Pan F for myself to see what happens with it. Having never tried or had the opportunity to try Agfa APX, I have nothing to compare it to. I have read though that APX is no longer and the closest thing is Pan F exposed @ 25. I've got 2 rolls of Delta 100 that I plan on developing in Perceptol as well to achieve the finest grain. I have a sneaking suspiscion that both the Kodak and Ilford films do not take well to the others developers :-) but I guess that's an obvious statement.
