APUG - View Single Post - Head to Head: Tri-X and HP5+

David Brown · 09-17-2007, 04:03 PM

I've read numerous comments over the years about the differences/similarities between Tri-X (400) and HP5+. I've used both (in medium format) and I am beginning to see subtle differences in prints.

Anyway, I have decided to load up two backs and do a head-to-head comparison; taking identical pictures with the two films and see what happens. Anybody else done this? What did you find? What do you expect that I will find?

You're thinking: "Hey David, do the test and post your results on APUG!"

Yeah, well, I've done similar things in the past and been told I was wrong, so I thought I'd do this backwards and ask for the right answer first.
