Try d76 1+1 20c 12mins

Try d76 undil. 20c 8mins

Search the web for the massive developer chart.

I've run lots of APX 100 through my Minox and gotten VERY nice negatives in D-76 1:1 at 9 minutes at 68 degrees. Agitation at one- minute intervals (overagitating increases grain, which is the big concern with Minox negatives.) Note that this is several minutes less than I've seen listed on the Massive Dev Chart and elsewhere, but it always produces very nice, easy to print negatives of medium density for me.

If your neg is 120 consider adding 40% to the massive development chart recommended time if you rate your neg ISO 100. Otherwise rate the neg ISO64. Try also XTOL, nicwe results for me
