What are your favorite Acufine dilutions (and times and temps)?

With what films?

With or without replenishment?

Is it your primary developer? What do you prefer?

I'm about to try it with Acros... good idea?

I prefer Diafine as it lasts quite awhile and develops to a certain contrast level and Tri-X, the only film I do in Diafine, doesn't look pushed. I've done some pushing of TX up to 3200, in Acufine, but contrast was too high. IMO, Acufine is much better at EI 800-1600. I've got some times around somewhere. I'll see if I can look them up.

TX EI 1000, Acufine 1+1, 10 min., 21C, 3 inversions/min. This was the best, IMO.

TX EI 1600 Acufine 1+1, 14 min. 21C, 3 inversions/min., Haven't tried this, read about it on this forum.

TX EI 3200 Acufine 1+1, 21 min., 21C, 3 inversions/min., This is where contrast was too high.


I also have in my notes: TMZ, EI 3200, Acufine 1+1, 7.5 min., 21C. I circled it in my notes, so it must have been pretty good.

TMZ EI 6400, Acufine. 1+0, 7.5 min., 21C. I don't think zi tried this one.

Experiment, see which one may work for you.
