What an amusing thread, are we still asking where the silver bullet landed?
TRI-X in Rodinal, in Rollo-Pyro, in PMK, in Lipton Breakfast Tea?. Is there a point to these queries: " I shoot 4x5 and need the speed, I shoot landscapes and need the delicate rendering qualities of ILFODAKUJI Super XXXXYX+" etc,,,CA va deja!
Please look at www.johnsexton.com. 99% shot w/TMAX 100 in HC 110 dil.B tell me, if you can, what is missing from this work that would have been only acheived with either TXP or FP4. Just pick a film already and USE it!
These discussions about FPX or FPY are really quite banal, why not master one thing at a time rather than go chasing that elusive silver bullet. That bullet lives in a deep rut full of excuses. If you like TRI-X ... 'You are the one for me, for me, formidable just SHOOT IT! don't start a religion.
