Trying out Plus-X!

[Bromo33333]

I really liked the Tri-X results, so I decided to try out Plus-X. Any suggestions (I don't develop my own stuff ... yet. I am resisting this just yet ... although it is attractive ... )

Plus-X is my favorite film. I shoot it at box speed and develop it in D76 1+1 (8:30 at 20 C - as per the box) or in Rodinal 1+50 for 12 minutes.

I rather like it in 120. I shoot it at 100 and develop it in W2D2+. I'll scan some prints when I have ones I'm not embarassed to show.

Bromo: DON'T DO IT!!!! LOL ... not my cup of tea; in this case State St. isn't up to scratch. YMMV.

I rather like it in all formats. It has been one of my mainstay films. Although lately I've been shooting FP4 and HP5 a lot. I'm still a bit miffed at Kodak for discontinuing Plus-X in 4x5 size.

A great film! With our water, I find the recommended time to be too long. I get best results with D-76 1:1 for 7 minutes at 20° C.

PX is my favorite film. I shoot it at EI 100 (in both 35 mm and 120) and develop for 8:30 in D76 (1:1). I have found that the tonal range of PX, especially in 120, to be very nice. I only wish it was available in 4x5 again.

I have also found it to be a "forgiving" film in both exposure and development. Have fun with it.
