[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I haven't used Tri-X in several years. I have recently used HP-5Plus recently in 35mm and 120. I have tried both Acufine and D-76 at recommend film ISO speed and chemical time and temperature. The grain has been so large, that I am considering push processing slower emulsions when I need a speed of around ISO 200. I will probably use either Plus-X or more likely FP-4Plus. Has anyone found the same grain problem? What experience have some of you had in exposing FP-4Plus at ISO 200? I would like to get fine grain results using my Noctilux in dim light.
