Tri-X at ISO _____? Nikkor 135mm f3.5, developed in Rodinal 1+50.

Care to take a shot at filling in the blank?
 
Considering you're using Rodinal, the grain isn't too bad, so my guess is somewhere between 800-1000ASA.

Ij.
 
Damn, you're good: 12,800 it is. Rodinal has a remarkably different look for big pushes than HC-110: far more tonal range.

Ha ha! I'm dead serious.
 
So standard good 'ole TRI-X, the 400ASA variety. Exposed at 12,800 ? That's amazing, a film built like a tank. They should use it for armour-plating.

Nothing special for me: 1+50, 51 minutes, five inversions per five minutes.

So for 12,800, it's about one long-play CD :D

Thanks for the info! Do you have any ballpark times for iso 1600? The Massive Dev Chart folks don't seem to care for Rodinal and Tri-X at any speed over 320.

I'd go for 22 minutes.
 
amazing in quality ! By the way, as I often hear of TriX, here's my "silly" question, what's the main difference between TMAX 400 and TRIX ? I've read TRIX was a famoud old old film.
 
Laurent,

Tri-X has been around for centuries. I believe Da Vinci used it to pre-visualise the Mona Lisa, himself being a big Contax fan. A very "traditional" film with lots of character, and a lot of hype too. I'm not big fan of it myself, can't seem to get much from it, but others work wonders with it.
TMax 400 is a very recent development by Kodak, using T-Grain technology (a modern method of aranging the silver-halide crystals). Very fine grain, although a lot of people find TMax films pretty soulless. Depends what you're looking for, I guess.

Neopan all the way,
Ijonas.
 
Did I read that right? You agitate once every 5 minutes? The other day you posted another pushed Rodinal shot. What speed was that shot and developed how long and agitated how often?

I'm a Rodinal fan but I've never used it for pushing.
