Digital BW, The Print

I've got a big stock of Tri-X 4x5 in the frig so was somewhat shocked 
today when I picked up a copy of "View Camera" and saw the article about 
Kodak, "fixing it."  So it is a stop slower and same development times. 
That's interesting. The writer of the article predicted (without any 
testing) that it would be faster and take 15% longer development.

Thanks for the info. At least I'll have a good starting point and you're 
right, it doesn't seem to be much different than the stuff I have in the 
frig.
