what doea Fuji recommend for developing Acros 100? and for that matter what do the gurus here recommend for best scanning....Pyro etc is out for me....cant get it....

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.

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.
