On the box it says that dev times have changed, ergo the film chemistry. i have contacted agfa germany, and received info on the proper dev times for both the rodinals (initial suggested developer was refinal)...then i noticed a typo in the downloadable APX200S pdf sheet (dev time is different in the english text, and correct in the german equivalent)!!!!!!!!!! i am expecting a reply for them, and in the meantime i send all info i had to digitaltruth, where i got a response that Agfa dev suggested times are considered a bit long form other contributors. the search is going on and if you wish i will keep you posted. hard to believe germans proved to be so negligent? _____________________________________________________________________________________ http://www.mailbox.gr ÁðïêôÞóôå äùñåÜí ôï ìïíáäéêü óáò e-mail. http://www.thesuperweb.gr Äåí Ý÷åôå web site; ÁðïêôÞóôå ôï ôþñá êáé ðÜñôå äþñï ôï domain óáò!
