Experimenting with film/developer options.
This is Kodak Tri-X 120, exposed at 200 ASA and developed in Barry Thornton's Divided Developer, a variation on the Divided D-23 developer. The camera used was the Voiogtlander Perkeo II, with exposures in the 3-10 second range at f11.5
Conclusion: the divided developer did a good job at giving a balanced negative - not too contrasty, decent shadow information, good separation of values, and restrained high values. There seems to be a kind of flatness in the middle tones, and I'm not sure if the film/developer combo is to blame or not. Regardless, this is a pretty good result. Sharpness and grain character is good for Tri-X, handled well by the Thornton developer.
