Response to Tri-X or HP5+ ?

from Robert W Boyer (rboyer@mindspring.com)
I use D76 1+1 (Sprint) and XTOL 1+2 (still experimenting) I seem to see differences in these two films with the developers mentioned. HP5+ seems to need longer development times that TRI-X and TRI-X seems to be better looking and eaiser for me to print when pushed two stops. I really haven't tried to quantify the difference but TRI-X seems to have a distinct mid tone look and may shoulder off more quickly than HP5+. HP5+ tends to look more linear and have more edge shapness esp. in XTOL 1+2 or higher. Just my two cents.
