Right! There is NO WAY that you can underexpose film and pull a decent image out of it!

Tri-X in Diafine. 3 min. each bath. EI 1000.

Keith, you may want to post this on APUG. Roger spent a lot of time there.

Yes, very sad. I was just thinking about him the other day. I learned a lot from reading his articles and from his website. I hope someone can keep it up & running.

Jim, there's a table in the back of the Darkroom Cookbook that has the conversion from grams to teaspoons. Tables are also available online.

2 stops is quite a bit, but you can try D-76; I can't give you a starting time, tho'. You could try Acufine, which gives a time of 9 min. for EI 400. This would be rather expensive to do just one for of film. Can you re-take these photos at the paper setting?

When you expose TX at an EI other than 400, (EI is exposure index, not the same as ISO. If you have your meter set at 400, but shoot TX at another s...

You can use Rodinal, thousands of other photographer do. You can dilute it up to 1+300, but 1+50 to 1+100 are the most common. It can give you great negatives...if you know what you're doing. You can also use a staining developer like Pyrocat HD or WD2D. Yes, the negs come out stained. This stain he...

Thank you, Keith. I enjoy reading about Rodinal.
