oops! Tri-x at 100

[m_liddell]

Just got back from doing some street photography and realised that I forgot to set the iso properly on the camera, the meter is one stop out and I totally forgot and so ended up shooting it at 100. About a third of the shots were in bright sunlight but the rest were not.

I usually shoot tri-x @ 200 and dev in xtol 1:1 for 8:15 at 20C. Would cutting the dev time 20% do it?

Yes, reducing by 20% would do it. As you shot in bright sunlight, a little less contrast shouldn't be to much of a problem. I once forgot to set my meter back after i shot P55 at 32 iso, when i was shooting HP5+ at 400 iso. The negatives were a little dense, but still printable.

I did the same a couple of days ago, tri-x @ 100 when I meant 400. Anyway, I wasn't feeling well, so just stand processed the film in Rodinol 1:100 for 70 minutes and the resulting negatives wowed me. Somewhat dense but very printable - resulting images were quite striking - I'm going to shoot another roll the same way and see if the results are similar.

I wouldn't change development at all. Why reduce development when contrast will be the same? As b1ltr1te has stated, you will have a stop more density to print through, but look at the wonderful shadow detail you will have, nothing like a good, beefy negative for shadows. This isn't too bad, just very dense and longer printing times as a result. tim

Use your normal xtol process !

This is why you shot Tri X in the first place.

Normal is called normal for a reason. The pictures will be great.
