Thanks Mark!

The new Tri-X is quite good. It has a bit of a HP5 feel to it. I find it 
can easily go flat on me. I think Graham is have problems the other 
direction (too much contrast).

But on the main, it's really a nice film. I've been getting very nice 
results with available light (window lighting) that really surpass results 
I was getting before. I've only used Xtol with it but since that works, 
I'll just stick with it. I haven't tried EI 800 or 1600 (we've finally got 
a fair share of light up here). But I think I will soon, just to see.

I've been using digital and the Rolleicord a lot lately. But I run through 
a few rolls of Tri-X a week just to get some routines down. Sorry about 
them being mostly family. Socially, I've been living pretty isolated lately 
(read: working too much). So I take what I can :)

Thanks again, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

these are an excellent set of images.  I especially like the main image -
loads of attitude and alt 2 - she seems totally absorbed in whatever is
going on outside the window.

This new TRI-X has a really nice look.  I have a few rolls to try out.  Mind
you, it will take something to get me move away from HP5 plus...!
