I shot a roll of Tri-x 400 yesterday and used a Hoya Circular polarizer for every shot. And all of them look very contrasty. Just a thought, but could it be that polarizer filters transmit more amounts of blue light, which black and white film is most sensitive to? Just wondering if that was why my shots came out overly contrasty. It wasn't my scenes, I used to spot meter to measure and keep them within a 5 stop range.
