Their contempt for the United Nations in the dash to war with Iraq; their support of the coup in Venezuela in April 2002, and the continuing hostility toward President Chavez; the pressure on nations of the world to exempt the US from the International Criminal Court, now joined by their contemptuous attitude toward President Aristide must be halted. It is time for the people of the USA to make this point clear even if the administration continues to walk around with wax in its collective ears, with eyes closed, and ranting about its version of the world as defined by Bush. - Excerpt from TransAfrica statement on the situation in Haiti, 2/17/04 (http://www.transafricaforum.org/) |

Try 400TX in Rodinal diluted 1:100 for 18 minutes at 68F. Really good
tonal range and much finer grain that the high dilutions - Mike On Sat, 06 Mar 2004 18:39:24 -0800, David Nebenzahl wrote: On 3/6/2004 3:33 PM silva spake thus: Hello, I'm a beginner (very) Tri-X 400XT developing times using Rodinal, are they ok? 1:25 -- 7 min /20ºC 1:50 -- 13 min /20ºC Sure, as long as you don't mind tons (I guess "tonnes" to you) of grain. -- The Bush administration should restrain itself from its imperial arrogance that has so alienated countries around the world.

Other than that I like it, it's my everyday developer. |

Try this link for a bunch of development times and combinations:
http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html I personally like TriX shot at 100 ASA with Rodinal 1+50 developed for 7.5 minutes. I usually shoot with a red filter. Now I can assure you that this is not a development time you will find elsewhere but I do that in order to get more than just a couple of shades of gray (!) decent contrast, darker skies and Rodinal is so sharp! I had many years of experimentation until I came up with this formula that I keep for TriX. If you shoot TriX at 400 the development time and the mixing is right on. It is however more grainy this way. JC "Gary Beasley" wrote in message ...
