Agfa APX100 + Rodinal Stand Development (1:125) for 90min @ 20C

[ykc2011]

Finally finished my roll of Agfa APX 100. I've heard a lot about this film, how its perfectly paired with Rodinal. I was excited to see the results...

Film: Agfa APX100... I hear Agfa has gone out of business... perhaps this film will soon be extinct...
Dilution: Rodinal (1:125) using 4ml concentrate to 500ml water at 20C to process 1 roll of film.
1. Gentle inversions for first 30 seconds (I counted 5)
2. Stand for 90 minutes, no interim inversions.
3. Water stop bath @ 20C. Continuous inversion for 30 seconds.
4. Kodafix for 5 minutes, with 5 inversions at the start of every minute.
5. Rinse for 10 minutes.
6. Kodak Photo-Flo.

Nothing spectacular about the photographs. Just wanted to share the processing results in case anyone's curious about how this film does with Rodinal.

Is this 135 or 120? I gather that its 135.

Not bad at all!

I tried the expired Agfa developed with Ilford Ilfosol S, the results was good.

Its 135... thanks! The top photo was taken with a Zeiss 50mm F1.5 wide open, with ND4 filter under noon sun... visually i can tell the difference between zeiss optics vs nikon... My APX has an expiration of 2016 i think... plus i'm freezing the entire brick... after this batch is gone... i think that's it. Though I read somewhere that ADOX will pick up the slack and try to produce a film similar to APX100... I'll believe it till i see it.
