I had marvelous results once exposing Tri-X at 32 ISO and processing in Microdol-X. The resulting negative looked like Panatomic-X when I blew it up to 16"x20". I explained this situation in a post a couple of months back. Here's the result: < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/Model_AMR.jpg.html> I also used to handle high contrast outdoor scenes by developing Tri-X in Rodinal 1:100. It was grainy, but super sharp, and lots of shadow detail.
