Looks good in Xtol or D-76 1+1. You'll want to expose generously and develop for a somewhat thinner negative than you might for optical printing.

Hi

the spec sheet suggests:
Microfine, Fujidol, Microdol-X, D-76, X-tol, T-Max and ID-11 developers (some of which are the same or similar chemistry) so I don't think they 'recommend' anything ... I'd go with what you like (either with the film or just plain like)

myself I'm using D-76 1:1 as well and while I haven't used it for a few years (I'm in Europe and other films are easier to find) find it lovely.

XTOL

I rate Acros at EI 100 and develop in 1:2 XTOL for 12 min at 68 deg F.

I have had excellent results with D76 1:1

I've seen some results lately using 2 part Pyrocat HD development with Acros 100 and TMY-2 that are quite amazing.

I prefer XTOL 1:1 over D-76 1:1. I have good results with D-76 but IMO XTOL is a bit smoother or finer.

i use Diafine....so versatile and easy, and here in Sth Oz, the temperature varies alot but is usually high. so i have less worries with temp control, and it is so cheap.
