Last Saturday, I also shot a roll of Kodak 400TX. I pushed the film one stop and developed it in HC-110(B) for 4 minutes. With most films, you add time to development when you underexpose it. Kodak instructions indicate you do not need to do this. You add time only when you push the film 2 stops (https://business.kodakmoments.com/sites/default/files/files/resources/f4017_TriX.pdf).
I scanned the images with the PrimeFilmXEs with VueScan. I used the Nikon 50mm 1.8D lens attached to the Nikon FM3a.

Interesting experiment. I read the same on their data sheet, “Because of these films’ exposure latitude, you can underexpose by one stop and use normal processing times.” But on web display, I think your scans look like they are about one stop underexposed. So maybe Tri-X 400 does need a bit more development time even when pushed only one stop. The focus on various subjects is perfect.

I am going to try Diafine next time I push Tri-X. I do not mind the look when it is underexposed but some of the images were unusable.

Thank you Steven. Your information regarding altering the stop choice is really interesting. My naivety in the past with using the LX has been one of ‘I have no clue about this’. Yesterday was spent emptying out my Billingham bag and refilling it with what I will take on little photography trips locally. Especially January 1st on our sabbatical New Year’s Day walk. On emptying the bag, I noticed my LX had a 1x stop setting. And an MX had colour film loaded. No idea if I understood, what you are very skilled with, as to why I did this 1x LX setting. Your insights are providing inspiration to follow this through now. I have a couple of rolls of the Ilford 400 (out of date) ready to load. And have been looking at buying some bulk film. I have a couple of loader machines and empty refill cartridges somewhere about.
So will start with the Ilford 400 choice and considered ‘stop’ choices. So a huge thank you for whetting my appetite. Love that Snowman photograph by the way. Cheers Steven and wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas time.

If the film is expired you might push it one stop, in other words giving the film double the light (shooting it at 200). If you eventually bulk load your film let me know and give some instructions and insight in a blog.

That’s great advice. And so well concisely explained concerning ‘stop’ rationality. I used to load bulk film into cassettes on a regular basis. But, my memory is very poor Steven. So do need to revisit the experiences. A lot cheaper though in undertaking this method. I believe Jessops own film make was often bought. I’ll certainly let you know if I return to the practice. All the best.
