DEAR BRIAN,
You are absolutely right about Tri-X's reciprocity problems...if you
work in low light. Over the last 15 years I shot more than 130 chattel
houses with 8X10 Tri-X in PMK and loved the results. 115 of them appear in
my recently launched book BARBADOS CHATTEL HOUSES with text by Prof. Henry
Fraser. Most exposures were between 1/4 and 2 secs and the results of using
my spot meter were...well..."spot on".
But I also tried shooting a night scene lit only by a street lamp
and had to expose about 10 times the meter reading. So I understand.
As a result of the limited funds from a recent grant I could not
afford the number of sheets of 8X10 Tri-X that I wanted because I could only
find it in 10 sheet boxes, not 50 sheet boxes any more. So, in order to
have the quantity of film I needed I decided to take the plunge and try
HP5+. In PMK the results were lovely!
****Does anyone have actual experience with the RLF of HP5+?
CHEERS!
BOB

Thanks for the suggestions.
That second link is broken. Freestyle does some silliness with their
search results that prevents you from linking directly to them.

Kodak T-Max 100, or Kodak T-Max 400 if I can't get the TMX.
I really hate Tri-X. It has atrociously bad reciprocity
characteristics.
