Response to Tri-X at EI 200

Rodrigo, What you have heard about Salgado shooting Tri-x at 200 is not the whole story. He shoots his film at whatever ISO is necessary for the situation he is shooting in and then has the film developed according to that ISO. 200, 400, 800, 1200, etc. Adding development time for the higher ISO's and less for the lower ISO's. But these changes are all based upon having established a "normal" developing time at a normal ISO.If what you are really looking for is more shadow detail then establish a proper development time for the films actual ISO and expose for more shadow detail. There is no real need to change the ISO to acheive more shadow detail. Just make sure that you are exposing properly.
