john_fleetwood Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 APX in diafine, TX in HC-110, and TMX3200 in rodinal. After seeing your photo, Todd, I might give XP2 another try, if I can find a place that doesn't scratch the dogs**t out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_smith4 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I like Ilford films (FP4, HP5, and Delta) in D-76 1:1. Though FP4 in PMK Pyro is a nice combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostly sports Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 This depends on the final use of the negative. If I know I'm scanning, then the chromogenic films win hands down, and my favorite is XP-2, because it is also easy to work with in the wet darkroom. For coaxing speed from Delta 3200 and Fuji Neopan, I like DD-X. I have A-B'd DD-X and Xtol 1:1 and can't see any difference. A package of Xtol makes five liters of working solution, and by the time I get through it, I've had an Xtol failure, and have to discard the balance. My favorite for great tonality when printing in the darkroom is Tri-X in Rodinal. But if scan Tri-X developed in Rodinal, the grain seems to clump like crazy. I think this is the aliasing issue. Both DD-X and Rodinal come as liquid concentrates that are mixed for one shot use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike dixon Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ilford HP5+, FP4+, and Delta 3200 are used the most; PanF+, Delta 100, and Delta 400 also see some use. All developed in Kodak Xtol diluted 1:2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wispos Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 My combo so far is Ilford HP5+ in Paterson FX39 at 12 minutes. The grain is merely OK but I like the tonality. Here's a lame scan of an 120 negative.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've standardized on XTOL (and its workalike, Patterson FX-50). I usually boost the ASA to 200 as I've found that gives me a gamma curve I like better. <br><br>Godfrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wispos Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Lovely shot Godfrey. I'm planning to give FX50 a go after my current FX39 finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
