Many people love it still. I, frankly, was never as fond of Tri-X as I was of Plus-X rated at 320, developed in Acufine. Plus-X has never changed, Tri-X has seen some development and improvement over the years. Nowadays, I use TMax 100 and TMax 400 more. As well as Ilford Delta Pro. I usually process in either HC-110 or XTOL 1:1. HC-110 is much like D-76 in character but it's a gen concentrate and easier to live with for me. XTOL 1:1 produces smoother tonalities and tighter grain. Those who prefer Tri-X and D-76 can recommend more how to push it, but it's not a big win for me. Godfrey
