I started back in photography after lay off - life got in the way. I primarly shoot 4x5. I used to use Tri-X but was not all that happy with the Tri-X/HC-110 combination I was using. Since I got back in I have been looking at other options. I do, however, like the "Tri-X" look. Of course I suspect that Tri-X has changed some in the 20 years since I used it. Right now I am playing around with TMax 400, but I am not sure I like the look of the prints produced from the film. I, however, have not printed any TMax negs on silver paper so I can't really compare it to TriX. I have scanned and printed some of my old TriX negs on Photo Rag and do like them - I would say better than the TMax negs but I don't have the same images. Many of my old TriX negs were taken when I lived in CO and hence the lighting and subject are much different than I have on the TMax so we are talking apples to oranges. My question is what is TriX like these days and how does it compair to TMax and what are the developer combinations/times that work well for TriX. I live in FL and it is difficult to get my water below 75 degrees and year round it is between 75 and 80 degrees so that somewhat limits the developer. Truman
