I'm very tempted to go back to Tri-x; however, I do end up pushing a lot of the 400 to 800 and TMax does push better than Tri-x. Tri-x tends to look better at 250 - 300. I'll just have to try Tri-x again with my fastest lenses :-) I took about half Tri-x to the Czech Republic but haven't had a chance to look at that yet. Have you tried the XTol developer? I like it better than TMax. Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.charweb.org/arts/open/tinamanley http://www.photogs.com/manley/index.html http://www.pomegranates.com/frame/manley/index.html
