I asked the other day in this thread http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112650 about shooting the Trix beyond 1600.
Well I shot one @ 6400
Nothing special but it can be done, not something I´m gonna do often
Although the Trix is flexible it seems that the exposure has to be spot on when it is shot on such high ISO, many frames where way to dark.
Here are 2 samples from that roll, nothing special just took some shots of my kids @ home late at night with very little light.

I think they look cool.

Nice photos. It's something I have intended to try for some while (like years), but haven't gotten around to yet. What film and size, and what developer did you use?

They look really nice. How did you meter?

I used Xtol 1:1 @ 24C° for about 15 min.
I shot this on my OM2n and used my handheld meter, sometimes I used the meter in the camera but the camera only goes to ISO 1600 so I metered from that and added the extra stops.

When I was in the service we used to push Trix all the time (it was the only film we were issued) and the results were great if you could deal with the grain. Today grain is considered cool, my youngest son tells me......go figure.

I think they look good. Now I must try!

Very cool - I have to try this myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
A question for anyone who has done this stuff before - the conventional advice that I have followed is that for every stop that I push, add 20% to development time.
In the case of ASA400 pushed to 6400, this equates to 4 stops.
Would the +20% dev-time/stop formula still work here - ie increase dev time (usually 9 mins at 20 degrees C) by a factor of 1.2^4 = 2.1 times longer than usual = ~19 mins ?

They look great... completely usable.

yes they look good, and I agree with the exposure, though I've never shot beyond 1600, I think the farther you push the more little exposure errors seem to get magnified somehow
