Kodak Plus-X 125asa

I too have heard that Arista Premium 100 is Plus X. And I like the results I've had in HC110. I would disagree with Roger that its sole merit is that it keeps well🙄

BTW, wasn't it one of Ansel Adams' favorites as well?

Not wanting to get into an HC-110 war, I always liked it for TX and HP4/5 ... for Plus-X (which I didn't use much) or FP-4, I mostly used Edwal FG-7.

But these days I'd probably stick with Rodinal or XTol.

Plus X is a terrific film.
I preferred APX100 buecasue it was cheaper, but it gives a nice tonal range and very fine grain.

It does well in D76, Rodinal, Ilfosol, FG-7, etc.

For shame M. Hicks -

There was an eBay seller selling short dated 36 exposure rolls of PlusX a while ago for just over $2.00 per roll ... I bought twenty rolls and most of it's still in the freezer. I had to back the developing off a lot to get decent scans but when you get it right it's a gorgeous film.

I still have seventeen rolls left ... might have to try some more I think!

Again, it is what you like, I like the full tones with lots of shadows, and highlights that have a shoulder. HC-110 gives me this plus a little softness that I also like, so pick your favorite. One of my best combinations has been Ansel Adams method (HC-110) with TriX. Unfortunately, I can't be as enthusiastic about PlusX, I personally didn't like it, but I've seen others that use it to 'fill the bill' for their style.

Plus-X was HCB's favourite film in the 1970's. There's a short film about two or three guys interviewing him and going to Gassmann with him to review some prints and his working methods in the streets. (HCB says it himself somewhere in one of these three clips here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjjGiBUaf4s)

Hi everyone,
I love Plus-X. I have a question now that all the PX guru's are here ... I bought 1000' of it on EvilBay and it has a slight fog when I soup it in Diafine. D76 is not nearly so bad & looks almost like "fresh" stock. A local photo store guy sold me Liquid Orthazite to solve the fogging ... but it only speaks of paper ...Any advice for the next 975 feet ? PMK ? I like the vintage look of Trix & PlusX so if that helps ...

Thanks !
Steve
