Subject: [pure-silver] Suggestions needed from the real
experts here
Well today was just one of those days. Working today with some Tri X pro 400TX and was working with studio lights and a Minolta Flash Meter. Well somedays you just wake up dumb and today was one of them.You can loose nearly one stop by developing in either Kodak Microdol-X or Ilford Perceptol (they are identical). When used full strength these extra-fine-grain developers loose about 3/4 stop when compared to D-76. The results will be normal contrast negatives.
Yep was working with 2 cameras one set at ASA 100 while the Tri X is 400. Want to guess which ASA the flash meter was set on and the really smart one today forgot to switch when switching cameras.
Yep it looks like the Tri X got about a 2 stop over exposure. At least it will dense rather than thin negs. I thinking of cutting the development time down to compensate. Any recommendations on how much to cut it and if the explaination isn't too deep in chemistry Id appreciate it. I plan on using D 76 either straight or 1 to 1.
Thanks for all the help
Mark
