HP-5 vs Tri-X

[Bob McCarthy]

I don't know if I agree with this. Do you really think TMX100 is better shot at ASA 50? As it is, I get super contrasty negatives developing at the suggested times. Anyway, if I rated my TMX100 at ASA 50, I'd be overexposing and would end up with less contrasty negatives.

I think the suggestion included the assumption of reducing development times to get the appropriate density. This would lower contrast.

With regards to Tmax 100, with my meters, and where I point it, etc, I get 100 as normal with adequate shadow density.

Your experience may vary.
