| Morten, since you are going to try that my advise is to bracket between ISO 50, 80, 100 and then develop to decide which of those "speeds" suit you best and match your development time/temp/technique combo
As a starting point develop your film for about 1 less minute that agfa's reccomended times Quote: |

| I'm boring. Oops, I mean consistent. Tri-X in 35mm or 220, developed in Tmax. If it ain't broke, I don't fix it. | |

| I think I'm boring too. I use HP5+ with a developer called prescysol (or something like that, I can never remember how to spell it.) It is pretty amazing stuff though. | |

| XP2 at 250! Amazingly fine grain and excellent midtone separation. I don't think it can be beat at that speed. | |

| When I did portraits semi-professionally, I used FP4+ and Ilfosol-S. This gave me the tonality I wanted as well as grainless sharpness in 6x4.5.
I also used EFKE R14 (now R50) in Neofin Blau; a combination that can blow your socks off, but really demands that the subject's skin is flawless.

| 35mm in natural light: Plus-X dev'd in D-76. Just love the flesh tones. T-max 400 is a close second.

| First choice is XP2 at 200 asa in MF. Second choice is FP4 at 125asa souped in HC110 Dil B. The skin tones with XP2 in subdued light are magical.

| I'm a big fan of XP2 as well (especially till my darkroom is finished). Other faves-APX/PMK, Delta 3200/rayco UFG (trying PCAT HD) for those unavailable light shots and Polaroid Type 55 (needs a sunny day or flash).
