[Leica] Tri X

[lists at paulhardycarter.com (PHC)]

I must admit, I love Tri-X and use it all the time, but haven't deved  
any for years. I just rate it at 400 take it to the nearest Kodak Pro  
lab and let them get on with it.

I'd love to take the time to check out all the possibilities of  
different ratings and chemicals, as I know there are a huge amount of  
subtle variations possible, but at the moment it'll have to wait.

Cheers, Paul.
