All shots on a Canon Populaire with lens and film noted in photo caption. Still trying to nail development technique with Cinestill D96 monobath processing (it's meant to be a no-brainer, right?)

I developed the Tri X @ 400 iso in Ilfosol 3 for 7.5 min. at approximately 68-70f and the negs came out with this sublime soft contrast and grain. Not much in regards to using the zone system, but an interesting aesthetic nonetheless. At first I was like...oh crap, but after scanning, I don't hate it. I was using an EOS 1V and EF 35mm 1.4.Would love to see an example!I've been metering Tri-X at ISO 200 and using the developing times for 400 for a couple of years. Here's an example or two:
M4-2, Voigtlander 35 1.4 Nokton Classic SC V2, 022 filter, Tri-X @ ISO 200, Film Photography Project FPP-76 1+1:
Leica M4-2 Voigtlander 50 2.5 Color Skopar LTM, 022 filter, Tri-X @ ISO 200, Film Photography Project FPP-76 1+1:

Nice photos.I worked my way through a bottle of Rodinal and it taught me a lot about how to handle Tri-X. First was the Rodinal works best with Tri-X when it’s exposed at 200. The other being very gentle agitation. Applying some of the same techniques to the D76 clone is yielding good results. Next up is Xtol.

A few more with the Canon P and Fujifilm Color 200 (I'm pretty sure this is the rebranded Kodak Gold, as I was expecting colder, greener colors). Color-Skopar 35/2.5 LTM.
Sadly, my Canon P is having shutter problems and I'm going to retire it for now. It would cost more to repair it than to buy another, but now that I have a Leica M2-R I'll use my LTM lenses on that camera instead (along with my M-mount lenses of course).
