I have used Emofin and APX100 for a couple of years. Emofin gives finer grain than Rodinal, but Rodinal gives sharper or at least crisper negatives (my opinion). And, yes, the film speed is about one to two stops higher with Emofin WITHOUT push processing. I think Emofin is an ideal developer for high contrast subjects. My development times for APX and normal contrast: 6 min for each of the two steps, 5 sec agition per minute.(posted 8867 days ago)
