My local most trusted B&W lab guy hates the new TriX with a passion (he prefers Bergger and HP5) and indeed all of the new TriX rolls that I've seen from his lab have the tonality of lith film. He's using D76 for TriX but I know not at what time/temp. I do not want to send him the film if he isn't having a good time with it so it looks like I'll be processing silver again for my fun shooting (then having it scanned and print via Epson or Frontier. I have been out of the B&W darkroom for about a decade. I got 20 rolls of the new TriX to push through my Leicas at a really nice price but don't want to waste them all in experimenting so I'd love a jumping off point if someone is using the new emulsion with a custom ISO rating, a favourite developer or a custom time/temp/agitation choice and is liking the results. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Carpe Luminem, Michael Eric Berube GoodPhotos.com
