Hi Ernie!

I too love the TriX!

I've souped in ID-11 for many years.

EI 200, (with medium yellow filter), ID-11 (1:1) at recommended time minus
10%. Nice scans and easy prints for daylight/ slightly overcast days.

I push to 1600 with T-max dev or ID-11 straight adjusting time/ agitation
depending on the scene contrast.

If you want to geek out... You may want to shoot a 'Shirley' under different
lighting conditions to test a developer to which you have easy access,
bracket three stops and process at recommended box time/ temp. to see what
will make your life easy and produce the results you are looking for!

Woo hoo, have fun!

Tosh Tanaka
