We've had this argument before on the list, take it up with Kodak they seem to think it can be. Me, I'm neutral.

Re: BW film/developer combinations
A mini-lab can not push or pull it. A pro-lab with dip and dunk can, and you can, of course, do it at home.

BW film/developer combinations...
Hi all... Here's a quick poll for all you BW junkies out there: What's your favorite film and developer combination for reduced or non-existent grain? I'm thinking of 8x10 to 11x14 enlargements of portraits. Thanks, Tim
Re: BW film/developer combinations...
I processed APX 100 in D-76 last night and the negatives look great very smooth. I making some prints this weekend I'll let you know how they come out on Monday.

Thibault, I've never done anything but standard development. I'll send you a copy of that scan; it was made with XP-2 at E.I. 50 developed normally and printed on Ilford MG FB paper. --Mike
