olliesteiner Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I would like to experiment with developing Tri-X in Rodinal 1 + 100, and I have the data for doing this at EI 400 and also at EI 250. My question is: would there be a noticable improvement in visual quality at the lower of these two speeds? If so, what specific improvements should I expect to see at the lower rating?

john_stockdale2 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Shadow detail. You might be developing for a little less time and would then get a little less contrast and less grain. Many users of Tri-X use ei=250 or 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_eaton Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I strongly suggest Tri-X pro in Rodinal at 1:50, 68F for 13minutes. Great negs with sharp, not too clumpy grain and wall to wall classic Tri-X tonality. I find Tri-X pro to be a 250 speed film to begin with, so EI 400 would technically be a push.

robert_landrigan Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Scott - two questions: 1. Are you rating @ 250? 2. Are you hand-processing or using a jobo-type machine? I've become somewhat leery of using continuous-agitation processing(ala the jobo atl series) with long exposure times...some fims(esp. tmax and delta, but i've a bit better luck w/ tri-x) just don't like too mach sloshing around:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
