I developed for snip I've tried all kinds of split developers, water baths super compensating or pushing this or that but I've never been able to get shadow detail out of Tri x @ 2400 let alone 1600. Maybe 800 in Diafine. I think the film might be worth the extra bucks to shoot at those ISO's. Just like TMAx 3200 or Fuji 1600 which both give me 1600 with most developers. They are in the extra high speed film category because of this shadow detail which is where you determine your ISO/ASA. Mark Rabiner
