I love Tri-X! It has been my favorite B&W film since high school, which was a long time ago.
I'm planning to develop my next roll of Tri-X in caffenol. I've spent a few months researching caffenol and found a photographer in Denmark who is getting really nice results with Tri-X in caffenol after a year of experimenting and refining his own mixture so I'm going to use his recipe.
Online you see lots of terrible examples of photos developed with caffenol, but this guy is doing good stuff with it: https://www.peterbjerg.dk/blog/eco2
I tried his recipe last week with Foma Ortho 400 as an experiment, but it didn't work out; my negatives were overdeveloped, but I just took a wild guess at the developing time. I've been corresponding with this guy (Peter Bjerg) and he says he develops Tri-X with his recipe for 13.5 minutes these days so I'll give that a try with my next roll.
I wrote a review article about this new film. Please Click for More Information.
Wonderful images and great review. Your remarks regarding C-41 vs ECN-2 were informative. I didn’t know that, “For processing, I recommend the complete ECN2 process, including carbon removal (which removes the AHU layer), which is also Kodak's official recommendation.“
Unfortunately, the one German source for this respooled film doesn’t ship to the U.S. Does anyone know of a U.S. distributor of respooled AHU 35mm film?

Thanks.
I thought the dealer would launch this new product in North America because Kodak is originally from here....
Vredeborch Felica, Delta 3200 at 6400. First two were double exposures in bulb mode, because even at ISO 6400 I had to use a very low shutter speed. They're weird, but I like the impressionistic look.
Thank you! I had taken a couple with the little raft empty during sunset, but just as I was leaving they jumped on and paddled off and I snapped that one.
