Abhinava Goswami Posted January 30, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am just wondering that if any had pulled Tri x 400 to ISO 200 and processed in which chemical can some one guide me. Abhinava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndjambrose Posted January 30, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2008 I am just wondering that if any had pulled Tri x 400 to ISO 200 and processed in which chemical can some one guide me.Abhinava Done it a few times with XTOL (stock dilution) at 5.5 mins at 20 degrees C. If you have your a preference for a different developer check out the massive dev chart (see The Massive Dev Chart: B/W Film Development Times, Processing Data). I get all my times from it and find the information very reliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxspbr Posted January 30, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 30, 2008 Abhinava, I usually shoot Tri-X as 200 ASA. My developers are made with raw chemicals - cheaper and more funny than ready-made. With DK-25, 24 minutes at 22°C. Slight agitation every 3-4 minutes. DK-20 is great, too! I like a version in two baths, with borax instead Kodalk as alcali. 18-20 minutes in first bath, 4 minutes in second bath, at 18°C. Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted January 30, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 30, 2008 I process it in Rodinal 1:50 for 10mins 1min agitation then 1 inversion per min after. Seems to work OK Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspeltz Posted January 31, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2008 I always use it at 200. The reason is at 400 I lose the shadows more than I like and at 200, no matter what developer you are using, it gives some really nice shadows. the developer and timing only effects the mid and high values. Using the chart referenced above is a excellent reference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. white Posted January 31, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2008 Another vote for always shooting Tri X at 200 ISO. After much testing, this gives more open shadow detail which I prefer. Works well with Rodinal 1:49 and D-76 1:1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Circle Posted January 31, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shoot Tri-X at 200, but develop it for 400. Rodinal 1:25 for 7 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhinava Goswami Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks a lot everybody for giving such information about the film.Thanks once again. Abhinava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve kessel Posted February 1, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 1, 2008 I know someone who exposes Tri-X at 250 and develops at 320. Couldn't tell you what's involved but the results are very agreeable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Morrison Posted February 2, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 2, 2008 I've used TRI-X for years and have come to believe that shooting and processing for 400 ASA is pushing a film that is really 200 ASA (pardon me, ISO.) D76 at 1:1 works for me. Yours, R. Morrison, M4-P, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhinava Goswami Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks Morrison for reviling such information about Tri x 400 ,I will try this way soon. Abhinava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted February 5, 2008 Share #12 Posted February 5, 2008 Just cut the time for 400 by 20% . You get more open shadows and finer grain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
osscat Posted February 8, 2008 Share #13 Posted February 8, 2008 D76 1-1 pre wet the film with a drop of wetting agent in the water add the developer and GENTLE inversion for 30 seconds then GENTLE inversion 10 secs each minute - I believe my time was nine and a half minutes - it was eleven and a half at 400 - twelve and a half for 1600 using Rodinal (there is an equivalent dev today) Hope that helps.

cocker Posted February 8, 2008 Share #14 Posted February 8, 2008 Abhinava, Inspired by your initial question I have been trying out Tri-X at 200. I found very good results from Rollei RLS Developer. B&W Reversal developers It gives very good tonal range and a lovely grain texture. Best wishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
