Re: [Digital BW] New Tri-X: anyone seen?

2003-12-02 by Clayton Jones

Hello Truman,

>...but some how Tri-X is still the largest seller. 

That "somehow" is not a mystery to anyone who uses it.  For a while
some years ago when I was into experimenting, I tried every new BW
film that came along (Tmax appeared during those days) and in every
case I was dissatisfied and kept coming back to good old Tri-X at 200
(or 180 for the 4x5/320 stuff), with D-76 or HC-110.  Finally I got
tired of all that and said "forget all the experimenting, I know what
I like best".  I quit jumping from film to film, settled in on Tri-X
and lived happily ever after <g>.  Great stuff.

Regards,
Clayton
