Its probably good if u can't have a handheld meter to meter the lights before hand do a spot meter on a rather neutral color (or a face) to get the exposure and work from there (using it in M and the exposure compensator), rather then setting the meter to matrix metering, my experience is that the matrix metering will be fooled most of the time in such situations.

And as others have said Delta 3200 is a good film to use with DDX. Enjoy ur shoot!

Thanks for the replies, just to clarify this was a last resort thing, I shot a roll with Delta 3200 and gotten great results with it (same thing in DDX), so using TRI-X was a last resort thing as that was what i had left at that time.

Thanks once again!

Hi all i have just tried push processing Tri-X 400 @ 3200. Just to ask some

beginner question as i have trouble trying to sort it out. I tried developing

Tri-X in DDX @ abt 18mins @ 20C with agitations every min(Could find the timings

anywhere so just tried to infer the correct timing by basing it on the timing

for 400 and adding abt 2.25 times more).

The negatives i got back, are primarily clear ( I was shooting a concert so

there were lots of black parts). Now i know the negatives are underexposed due

to me pushing 3 stops, and the developing time has been increased. So i would

like to ask is the negative that i got back correct?

As i am still experimenting i would like to know how to proceed next in order to

develope Tri-X in DDX. Should i develope shorter or longer the next time i try

to push tri-x. Or should i not agitate as much to bring out the shadow details

(some form of stand developing)?<div></div>

HI all,

Usually i develope with HC-110 in dilution H and TRI-X, just curious how does

the dilution affects the development. I know sometimes we use certain dilution

because at lower dilutions, developing time may be too short to develope

properly. But how else does dilutions affect things like accutance, grain,

film speed?

Regards

Hi all just to check how is the shelf life of HC-110 after it has been opened?

Cause i stop developing abt 6mth to a year ago and recently just shot another

roll was wondering if it is still good to use.
