Response to tri-x , xtol, jobo

from Steve Slaughter (qed2@mindspring.com)
I had excellent luck with Tri-X pushing 3 stops because I was on a shoot and used up all my 3200 speed film. This was a dance rehearsal at the Kennedy Center in DC. I was using available light and a strobe would have ruined the shots. I used TMAX developer for the push processing (per Kodak's recommendations) because it was supposed to be kinder for push processing than Xtol. I also pushed Tmx400 3 stops and of the two, Tri-X did better (grain, grays) than the Tmx. Some of these were enlarged to 20x30 and are quite acceptable images. If you want all the gruesome details of processing, please advise.

I use Jobo CPE-2 for all processing of 35mm and med format. Have done up to 3 rolls at a time.

Sorry if this is off the subject of your original question a bit but...
