Agfa APX 100 film and D76, dev time suggestions

Due to the hard to find Agfa products in Mexico I'm thinking in develope a recent exposed APX 100 rolls at 100 ASA in Kodak D76 with a Jobo rotary tank. Any suggestions for developing time?

APX100

Jose-how about developing it (oh my gosh) Kodak Xtol. I've done this alot and it will give you the full speed of the film. Hard to go wrong and you can try Xtol 1:1 @75 degrees for 5:45 rotary.(120 film) You can go to the Kodak site and get the Xtol times. They are very accurate. Good luck
Best, Peter

Jose, I looked up some development times for APX100 35mm film. I develop in a Jobo CPE2 at the slow speed.

I started using APX100 in mid 1993. I have used about 200 rolls since, bulk loaded.

I used D76 undiluted (neat) at 20ºC for 7'30" which was really good for me at the time. I haven't changed much as I still use the same camera and lens.

I have also developed APX100 in divided D76 at 20ºC. First development for 3' and second development for 4'45".

When Xtol came out I tried APX100 in that, I came up with the time of 5'30" at 21ºC. Undiluted (neat) developer. My notes mentioned that the negatives were really good. With a film speed of about 100ASA

However, I use D76 all of the time.

Hope this gives you some working times to start with.

Mick.

I'm still using the now obsolete 4X5 APX 100 sheet film. I find Agfa's recommended times to be way too long. My sheet film in tubes with constant agitation: D-76 1:1 for 10 minutes.
