Default Agfa Rodinal and Kodak Tri-X 400XT

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.

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

I would check the working speed of the film with these times before
doing anything really serious, Rodinal makes a quarter to a full stop
speed loss on most films, depending on what film. Other than that I
like it, it's my everyday developer.
