I have been having constant problems developing myTri-X film- It seems that my subject matter seems to be part of the problem. It is landscape sky/water on grey overcast and foggy days. I have been shooting 5x7 and now 8x10 developing with jobo processing in a lab. The film is usually streaked in vertical stripes if you are looking at the film horizontally. I started out with xtol developer and moved on to HC110 "F" to have an increased development time. Then I switched to Rodinol 1:50 for a preferred grain shape. I have had the jobo placed on an angle to supposedly diminish the "bromide drag". Sometimes the film is fine and other times it is streaked. The film has been sent to Kodak, and the best suggestion they had was to place the jobo on an angle. I tried another lab and still have bad results. I switched to Plus-X film and have the same problem. Whatever information you may have on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Joni
