Response to tech pan, apx25, and tmx100 ??

Tech Pan has the finest grain processed in Technidol, with good but not excessive contrast. Because of its red sensitivity the tonality in portraits can be odd. The discontinued APX25 has excellent resolution. I have processed it in Rodinal 1+25 and TMax developers. As you would expect, Rodinal gives a slightly grainier, but very sharp negative with excellent detail, fine for scenic work. Overall, for general photography, I prefer TMX100. The grain is fine, and the tonal range outstanding. It develops very well in TMAX developer, which gives similar results to XTol.
