Both films were exposed at an e.i of. 1600 because the French magazine Réponses Photo found there was a loss of shadow details if Delta 3200 was exposed at 3200 or higher. ><Snip> Nice report! But maybe two stops is too much for Tri X even in Xtol? Maybe shooting it at 800 or even 1200 would give full shadow detail. When you said that the shawdow detail with the trix was thin at 1600 how thin? Can the film be really rated that high or not? Or is it a "pushed" speed which kisses off adequate shadow detail? Will dirty blondes look like brunettes? Mark Rabiner
