Keith (M) Posted December 28, 2012 Share #21 Posted December 28, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) What type of agitation are you using with the across in Rodinal? Slow, gentle continuous for the first thirty seconds (typically ten inversions), then three inversions every minute for the remaining time.

thrid Posted January 4, 2013 Share #22 Posted January 4, 2013 Tri-X A timeless classic. Does everything. TMY-2 400 400asa film with grain as fine as a traditional 100asa stock. Amazing. Delta3200 The best ultra high speed film on the market. Also looks amazing if you pull it. I used to be a big fan of the old APX100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honcho Posted January 4, 2013 Share #23 Posted January 4, 2013 I use various formats from 35mm with a Leica MP, through Fuji 6x17 to 5x4" in a Cambo. After years (decades, even) of trial and error, experimenting with varied failure and success, reading, learning and absorbing information from great photographers in those areas that apply to my own and refining my technique, it goes like this for me: 35mm....Ilford XP2 or Ektar 100 for convenience. 6x6, 6x7, 6x9... Ilford Delta 100 in ID11 6x12 & 6x17...Ilford Pan F in ID11 or RVP 50 for conversion to monochrome in pp. 5x4"...Ilford FP4+ in ID11 All scanned on Flextight. I demolished my wet darkroom years ago and don't miss it one bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted January 4, 2013 Share #24 Posted January 4, 2013 I like tri-x very much. However I have recently become interested in Eastman 5222. Anyone know where one can buy that on rolls in Europe? How chastening in the hour of pride... | Flickr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticman Posted January 4, 2013 Share #25 Posted January 4, 2013 I like tri-x very much... Looking at this image in your stream (near to the picture above) I can totally understand why you (and so many others) love Tri-x. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted January 4, 2013 Share #26 Posted January 4, 2013 Eastman 5222. Anyone know where one can buy that on rolls in Europe? Philip, I think you will have to cut and roll it yourself from 400ft cans. Andy in Dungeness is a bloke who will know anything you need to know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkoush Posted January 4, 2013 Share #27 Posted January 4, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tri-X mostly in DD-X and sometimes in Rodinal is my most used film. I used to use Neopan 400 as well (same developers) but I prefer Tri-X over it. More recently I "discovered" Acros, and now if I need a 100 ISO film that's the one, amazingly creamy smooth.

j. borger Posted January 7, 2013 Share #30 Posted January 7, 2013 Tmax400 in D76 is what i use most in 35mm. Very nice tones and no excesive grain. Scans wonderful and is sharp, even in D76. Especially nice is that you can shoot tmax at iso400 and iso800 at the same roll, because developping times are identical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baachitraka Posted January 7, 2013 Share #31 Posted January 7, 2013 Fomapan 400(135) in Tanol for portraits. Grain is gorgeous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
