TriX in Rodinal

My experience with this stuff is don't do it..... way too much grain and no
shadow details to speak of... having said thus, permit me to suggest:

1. Use Bruce Barnbaum's double HC110 procedure that goes like this..... 2
min at 1:31 followed by 10-14min at 1:180...... right, those are
dilutions.... temp should be about 68-70 deg.... the idea here is get the
blacks started with the stronger dilution (1:31) and then shift to a
compensating developer to get the shadows...... no rinse in between,
either.... oh, those are dilutions from the goo as it comes out of the
bottle.... NOT the Kodak suggested conversion to stock....same deal with
D76.... 2 min at 1:1 then 10-14 min at 1:7....

2. Even better yet, shoot TriX at ASA 200 and develop in PMK pyro for 11.5
min at 70 deg..... negatives you will not believe!
