I've now read reports that 5222 negatives are of the dreaded purple/pink variety.
Well, that's one of the main reasons I have (for now) sworn off Tri-X.
My ideal film will be exposed at EI 200 and developed in HC110 (time not under 5 minutes, please)
yielding contrasty negatives, on a clear durable base.
In light of the above more specific preferences further suggestions appreciated.
As mentioned before pushing 100 or pulling 400 speed films is acceptable to me.
Of course I realize any recommendation will only be a starting point.
I'd just rather not wind up with $100 worth of an unsuitable film...
TIA,
Chris
No purple/pink on my 5222. I'm shooting it at 200 and developing it in xtol.
