I use Acros with dilute metol-ascorbate developer whose pH adjusted to
9.8, and usually at an EI of 64. I don't use catechol or
pyrogallol. I'm about to start using a different one for actual
pictures (not step tablet or backyard scene), hoping to take a big
break from developer experiments.
I use Acros for nightscape and similar subject matters, so I need to
stock it anyway; I'm phasing out TMX and APX25 when they are used
up. APX25 is very nice, but I'm happy with TMX or Acros.
