I have been using Kodak Tri-X 120 film, rating it in my hand held meter at
400, and on my pinhole, exposures are usually around 1 second, 2 seconds,
and 4 seconds, (1 second for bright light, (sunny), 2 seconds for overcast,
intermittent sun throught the clouds, and 4 seconds for heavy overcast, or
foggy days... I develop my films in HC-110 , dilution B, 68 degrees F, and
cut back a bit in the development, 10% of the processing times, for cloudy ,
and 20% for bright sunny days, that way I dont get blocked up negs.. since
HC-110 is a compensating developer , it will tend to block up the highlights
first, and give contrasty negatives.. Some on this list may be cringing at my
times, exposures , but it works for me, soooooo .Good Luck,
