Response to Iford HP5 or Tri X ?

from Dan Smith (shooter@brigham.net)
Both are fine films. Ilford is just a touch newer in formulation & pushes well to 3200 and is very similar to Tri-x with a bit finer grain(for my system at least). I use the Ilford a lot for sports work, low light and general shooting & don't find any reason to go to the newer generation films for that stuff at all. I like the look it gives me and the forgiving nature under varied conditions. I process in ID11 at 1:3 dilution for normal work and in Microphen for pushes to 3200.
