 Hi! I too mourn demise of APX 25 - until recently, it was still available new here 
in Czech rep., but now, not a single roll of it in 120 is left. I wasn't able to 
stock on it for simple lack of funds :(

 You might try the EFKE films, the EFKE KB 15 (which is 25 asa, single layer, 
traditional emulsion, direct copy of German Adox films), available from 
www.fotoimpex.de
 It will propably be different from APX 25, but you might still like it. I generally 
like the "traditional" emulstions, especially in Rodinal.

This APX 25 thing is killing me

2001-04-16 Thread Ryan K. Brooks

I'm building a Pentax 67 setup, and would love to shoot my old favorite of
APX 25, only to find that it's gone now :-(.   I shot some APX 100 thru my
ZX-5n, but I can say with certainity that it's not the same stuff.  So, I'd
like to ask if anyone has a source for APX 25 in 120?  Or other
recommendation for something with similiar grain and performance that I can
mail order here in the States.

Thanks,

-Ryan

PS:  Finally uploaded some shots
http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=113369 - one of which
includes a cameo appearance by my second favorite Pentax lens.

It's not.

Nope, it's long gone. Maybe some profiteer is selling some on ebay.

That stuff was unique, IMO. There's nothing like it.

I have 2 rolls left, and I'll probably switch to Delta 100 when it's
gone.

I don't like Pan F+ very much

Agfa, in it's corporate wisdom has deleted that product. My
guess is anyone that has a supply of it is hoarding it, the same
way I am hoarding the last of my Panatomic-X.  I don't really
think there is a film on the market that is really comparable to
APX 25.
I am very partial to FP4+. I like everything about Delta except
the grain structure. This is not a big issue with 6x7 in the
print sizes I make. Try the APX 100 in 120. You might find you
like it.
