Tri-X 400 vs Tmax 400

[lawrence]

Agree or disagree: To get that kind of a tonal range, it has to be compressed to fit within the toe and shoulder. So the curve through the midrange is flatter: ergo, diminished midrange contrast. Try and steepen it, and you got blocked highlights.

Agreed

When is Plus-X coming back?

Such a shame about Plus-X, I wish they'd discontinued TMX instead. Although TMX can be a nice film for portraiture there was something very special about the Plus-X look that I don't see in any other film

TX400 with DDX 1+9, i notice with 1+4 the grain is too big
