 AAhhh...How I loved Tri-X! 11:30 mins at 20C in D-76 diluted 1:1 from memory. Agitate tank for 30 secs and let sit for 30 secs. Dump D-76 and let sit in a water bath for as however long you like. The negs glowed like gemstones. And you could push the hell out if....3200ISO no sweat, and still get a result.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
I quite like that photo Matt. The B&W and grain suits it. I guess you took it long, long, long ago.

Matt,

Was that shot on one of our old Tri-X CF cards? Sure looks like it. :bowdown:

I kept a small box of those cards.

Might be time to release them - could get a good price now.

You should keep all of your compact flash Tri-x cards in the fridge.
