Another thing to bear in mind here is that if you are starting with 35mm
negatives, the "Tri-X" film is a completely different emulsion from the
sheet Tri-X Jeffrey describes. It's also a wonderful film, just very
different. If rated at 200 and developed in HC110B for about 5 minutes
at 68 degrees, 35mm Tri-X will give negatives that print with gorgeous
smooth tonal transitions and a tight, pleasing grain pattern that
becomes a significant part of the presentation at enlargements of about
8 diameters (8x12 inches full frame print) and larger. That's for silver
paper, but I'd expect it to hold true with enlarged negatives as well.
For a more obvious grain pattern that is also very coherent and
attractive in appearance, try TMax P3200 rated at 1000-1200 and
developed in HC110B.
