Two more rolls of Tri-X took me through a range of conditions but it seems to really love a cloudy day, delivering contrast and drama without losing the subtleties. I'm on a steeper learning curve with it in stronger sun and hard shadows but the results are certainly punchy and the highlights still aren't blown out. It's exciting stuff and I'm looking forward to trying it in 120 format.

Old mill up the Norfolk coast shot on Tri-X, which did a decent job on an overcast day.
In fact it nearly always does a decent job. And it probably would have done an even better one if I'd stopped down a bit more and got the sails in the windmill a bit sharper or slapped an orange on the front end.
This comes from one of the Wondies' mega-hooge premium professional supersize your meal with extra fries and large drink scans.
At that size, you do notice the slightest blemish but every scan from this roll came back clean. Like they normally do.
Even better, the Wondies are still offering Tri-X at reduced price.
I recently took advantage of the brilliant offer on Tri-X from Analogue Wonderland and started using the old favourite again, although I had last used this emulsion in the late 1980s. This is the new version of the Tri-X which was reengineered by Kodak in 2007. I was at first a bit concerned about the reduction of silver in the new film, but that was unfounded. This film still has magic to it, with the same brilliant tonality and separation in the highlights and even slightly finer grain than the old Tri-X, although the choice of developer is important here. I used Ilford Perceptol at stock strength and rated the film @ iso 250 for these photographs. The camera was an old Soviet era FED-2 with an Industar 26-M 52 mm Lens with no filter. These were all shot @ F8 or F11.
Truly, after just using it once this is now my favourite B&W Film.
It is one of my go to medium speed films. When i can find it a reasonable price, i will stock up.
