I just processed a few rolls of 35mm APX100, hoping to find a sharp (acute) and fairly grainy look. I EI'ed at 64 for some rolls and 80 for others. I processed them all, in several batches, in Rodinal at 1:150 for 10 to 16 minutes (started with 10, last rolls up to 16).(posted 8788 days ago)They barely came up (thin...but not too thin, even the 16 minutes were only approx 2/3 stop more dense), and they are not sharp compared to what I was expecting--they were OK, but nothing special.
I thought getting a sharp, grainy negative would be quite easy, but could someone give me some advice with APX? Would PMK be a better choice? maybe pushing it a little (160-ish)? Hummm...
