Do any of you recall how a newspaper darkroom might have developed Tri-X in Dektol? From what I've read it would have been used 1+1 or 1+2 for a very short amount of time, 1.5 or 2 minutes, and then immediately fixed (skipping the stop).
I recently acquired a bulk roll of Tri-X that's well past its process-by date (thanks, Godders!) and need work around a slightly higher than normal base fog. The first test roll, shot at 400 and souped in D-76 1+1, resulted in good acutance, but not enough exposure to overcome the fog in the shadows. So I'm looking at over-exposing (IE 200 or so) and developing for a bit more contrast. Plus, I have this Dektol taking up space.....
