Digital BW, The Print

Re the 4x5, you might give these a try:

    Tmax 100 developed in Tmax RS 1:9 (the John Sexton formula).  I use EI 64 normal, N-2 = 40, N+2 =100.  Scans very well, and you'll pick up a lot of speed in low-light situations compared to TriX because of the reciprocity differences.

    Bergger 200 developed in Rollo pyro.

Doubt you'll see much quality improvement compared to TX/HC110, but the Tmax is sure convenient in low light.  It also is excellent for compensating development in very dilute Tmax RS.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Film/developer combo


  While we are on films and developers - I would like some input. For most 
  of my medium format work I used Kodak PanX either developed in very 
  dilute (1:100) Rodinal or the Zone VI developer. Pan X is no longer 
  available and I long since run out of my stock in the freezer. So I'm 
  looking for a new 120 film. After doing some research I decided to give 
  the Ilford Delta 100 a shot. I've found a couple developers that "claim" 
  to give good results with this film - one from Photographers Formulary 
  and two from Patterson (one being a two part developer which claims 
  great latitude and flexibility).

  Has any one had any experience with either this film these developers or 
  these combinations. Any other suggestions out there. Same question for 
  4x5. I currently use TriX/dilute HC110 but if there is something better, 
  I'm all ears.

  Thanks
  Truman
