I'm still in the learning process with B&W (developing in a daylight tank and printing with Vuescan, PS 6.0, and Epson 1270). Over the weekend I tried Mike Johnston's suggestion and shot Tri-X at 200 and processed in D-76 1:1 for 8 minutes. I was pleased with the results. Bill, KG4LOV [EMAIL PR

Why are people so enamored with Tri-X? I use Tmax 100 developed with Tmax developer and the results are outstanding. Tri-X is so grainy I dont understand why anyone would want to use it anymore. Just a quick comment on Tmax 400, it's way too fussy and I have never been able to get good results wi

Hi Paul ... Allow me to present another side of your suggestions, although they are good ones. First, I'd recommend against HC-110 and stick with D-76 or ID-11 as the first developers, since they are, essentially, the benchmark by which other developers are measured. From there I'd experiment w

Hi, Stop in at a good camera store and get yourself a copy of the Kodak Darkroom Dataguide. It will list recommended developers and other chemicals needed to process that Tri-X . It also provides good instructions. You'll see the book includes developmeent times for the various films. If I were y

Hello everyone, I just found out that my sister still has all of her B&W developing equipment and enlarger sitting in my parents closet at home. Since I live in an apartment (with my girlfriend), I want to start slowly and try processing some rolls of Tri-X 400 in our bathroom. Miracously, my gi
