APX 400 pushed?

Hi,

anyone have experience of pushing APX400 either 1 or 2 stops? preferably souped in the hot rod.

Cheers

Martin I've pushed/expanded it to 800 with good results, in Xtol.

Xtol / 1+1 / 20C / 15 1/2 min

In Rodinal I would go with 1+25 if you push it to get an acceptable dev time. I haven't done it as APX400 is not my film...I don't get along with very well.

Expect LOTS of grain!

Nicol, thanks for the information.

Morten, thanks for the suggestion. The jury is still out on what I'll be cooking it in but I'll post comments here.

In you soup it in Rodinal expect much contrast and grain. I love that effect, but if you want a smoother neg use XTOL.
APX films and Rodinal results in contrast and vivid grain.
