Re: New Tri-X: anyone seen?

2003-12-01 by jsinger986

Kodak already came out with a new Tri-x... at least 6-8 months ago... so I'm guessing 
you are talking about that... at least I hope that's what you're talking about and not 
ANOTHER change!

After I did some PEI tests with the new Tri-x and compared them to the old Tri-x I 
found that I had to go from ISO 320 to ISO 250.  My dev times stayed the same. (11:
10 @ 68 deg, D76 1:1)

I can't really say there is a huge difference between the two.  Maybe a little less grain 
on the new stuff.  I never really examined it closely though.
