| In the same category as PXP, Tri-X is an "old-technology" film. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have it's own merits. Like PXP it isn't quite as critical regarding exposure as the modern thin-emulsion films such as T-Max 400. It is grainier and not quite as sharp but these factors are easily overcome by using a larger format camera and good photographic technique. The end result is a film that is more tolerant of processing variations than the modern T-grained films. This has it's rewards when you want a film that can be "pushed" to EI 1000 or more with no tradeoff in tonality. In fact some people like Tri-X rated at EI 1000 and developed in a high energy developer like Accufine or Microphen better than the "normal" approach of say EI 320 and D-76. To each thier own ! | ||
