Delta 100 was good in R + SA, but HP5 was a catastrophy. I am afraid this may be the case with Tri-X too. With Delta 100 I got less speed than with Xtol 1+1 but much higher apparent sharpness. Grain was more prominent, but nice. Let us hear what you think! Chris >Well, if you are reading this, your interest was piqued by the combination >mentioned.
