Response to tonality vs acutance?!

from Bruce Appel (Appelgate@aol.com)
I have not used it with 35mm, only 120, but I love the results I am getting with Agfa 100. After some fine tuning, I shoot it at ei 80, use Rodinol 1:50, 14 minutes @68. Agitate continuos for first minute, then 5 seconds every 30 seconds. With this combo the majority of my negatives print easily on # 2 paper on my cold light head enlarger. Black blacks, unblocked highlights, and really wonderful grays. I am just getting started again in b+w after several years with no darkroom. Prior to that I had settled on Tmax 100 in Rodinol, but the contrast was tough to control. This is the best combo I have found thus far. Hope this helps.
