Thanks for that Dizel, and welcome to the List as Winsor says. I
still have a roll of AXZ25, but I shall try Efke KB when I feel the
need for fine film.
I had not realised that agitation could have such an effect on a
developing film. I try to remain consistent:
- a few bash on the sink to dispel bubbles
- a few twists with the spindle to get the mixture around the film
- inversions for 10 seconds every minute with a bash to dispel
bubbles when I put it down.
... but sometimes I miss a few inversions because I am busy mixing
the fixer or warming the stop bath, or listening to the radio... ;-)

Why? Agfa APX 25, may her beloved body rest in peace, was five-fold
cheaper and maybe a bit sharper than TP. Others have similar
experience:

Nowadays, I prefer Efke KB 25 to Tech Pan - TP is for example
very sensitive to changes in agitation - more so than any B&W film
I ever used. Also, when you develop TP in Rodinal 1+200 (as I did),
even small changes in type of (distilled !) water used can lead
to substantially different results. Someone gave following recipe:
