rickyrat Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 As a long time user of medium speed b&w films ( FP4 and APX100 ) I would like to try a faster film with different characteristics. I have decided to focus on TXP-120 having heard mostly good opinions ( and some bad ) about this film. I develop my films using Rodinal and PMK and would like to stay with either or both of these Before I begin testing to determine my own personal speed and development times I would like to hear from others who have played with this film and would welcome any advise.

jay_de_fehr Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I've used a lot of TXP in 120 and 4x5 for portraits. It's great stuff and pushes pretty well if you need it to. I've developed it in my usual developers; Xtol, D-76, TmaxRS, a few rolls in Rodinal, a few in Gainer's Vitamin C, perceptol, and microphen. For best speed/grain characteristics I like Xtol @ EI 320. Beautifully smooth skin tones.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmarkpainter Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 TX and TXP are my main films and Rodinal 1+25 is my main developer. Contrast is easily controlled by Pulling or pushing anywhere from 200-800. jmp<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliesteiner Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'm very fond of Tri-X 320TXP. I expose it at EI 200 and develop in HC-110B.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat_wilson1 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Tri-X is a great film. I use Tri-X shot at 260 in D-76 1:1 @68F for 9 1/2 minutes normal development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojim Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 You can probably develop it in just about anything. I'm partial to it in PMK, but alas, no scans to show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_p._dimor Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Not sure about TXP120 but for TX120 I fix as if it were TMax.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
