The Foma film I shot actually has "Ultra 100" on the film rebate, so I am guessing Freestyle is selling it as their Arista EDU Ultra 100...

I wish Arista would better define their offerings. They've had hit & miss films over the years. A test run with a step wedge & densitometer never lies, but that doesn't help during the ordering process.

My cheap film has been Shanghai GP3 (100). I expose at 200, bringing highlights down into a more detailed part of the film at the expense of shadow detail. In doing so, I don't need to push the contrast as much and preserve more tonal range in the process.

One film I've been very impressed with for the money is Kentmere 100. I wish they made that in the 120 format.

Here's an example of the Shanghai shot at dusk in the above described manner on my Fuji 645zi "pocket" camera. Processed in D-76 1:1 (I usually use Xtol 1:1). I used a yellow filter, the result was a bit overkill with the setting sun already throwing dark yellow light & causing heavy shadows. I'll see what else I can dig up with the Shanghai and post it.

Thanks. This is Tri-X, underexposed by a stop. I've been letting Citizen's Photo here in Portland develop my negs so I'm not sure of the developer but it's probably D-76 or HC-110. Camera was a GF670 in case anyone wants to know.

Austin, Thank You. That's alot of detail & tone for pushing a stop. Nicely done!

... That's alot of detail & tone for pushing a stop.

Per Kodak's Data Sheet, 400TX is recommended for push processing. And they say because of its wide exposure latitude you can expose at EI 800 and develop normally without pushing for just one-stop. But I assume they mean using a box-speed developer too.

Very good, Austin! Of course, I love deep blacks and triangles. The triangle in the tree along the right margin is perfect punctuation. Well done.
Best,
Merg

Real nice Austin. Agree with Merg on the blacks.

Thanks Merg, Chassis. It was about ten degrees outside but when I saw this I had to pull over and get the camera out.
