jtr1 Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 I am sure that this has been asked 1000 times before, but... <p> Does any one have some sugested developing times for tri x pushed to 800, 1600, 3200, using D76 1:1. <p> Just want to play around with it a little and would appreciate any help. I realize that faster B/W is available, but I load this bulk so it is cheep enough to play around with and experiment. <p> Thanks <p> Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_harris Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 Check the "Massive Development Chart" at http://www.digitaltruth.com <p> Check Kodak's website. <p> I can push Tri-x very comfortably to 1600 with Xtol. I haven't gone further than that. Kodak has a very complete developmentchart to 3200 with their Xtol info. I'd recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 This doesn't answer your question regarding Tri-X, but might I suggest you try Ilford Delta 3200 developed in Ilford DDX? It is very fine grained at 1600 and 3200, and has a long tonal scale. It comes in both 35 and 120...you can easily go to 6400 and above with an expected increase in grain and loss of tonality, but far, far less than Tri-X. This is also far superior to Kodak TMax 3200 and comes in 120 as well. <p> Ilford's web site has a fine printable data sheet on it and an excellent review by Francis Schultz. <p> http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/homeng.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott walton Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 You will get better results using Acufine or even better, Diafine. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_brown Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 As Scott says, you'll do better with a speed increasing developer. Microphen is another one, that I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l_sutton_schmitz Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 Use the times in the Kodak Dataguide...always use 68* (and for ease do not dilute) It works like a charm with decent grain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
