When I worked with Tri-X and wanted finest grain and maximum resolution I'd
sorta 'pull' process by using HC110 at lower temps and aim for somewhat
lower contrast. I found it easier to add contrast in printing than to dig
detail out where it's blocked up.
But there are so many ways to work with a flexible b&w film like Tri-X,
you'll get other equally valid advice.

I always shot Tri-X at 200 (years ago). Now I'm dependant on a
commercial processor, for awhile, anyway. He does do B&W by hand, which
is unusual for an outfit that caters to the mass market. Question. If
I shoot Tri-X (or Agfapan 400 or Delta 400) at 200 to open up some
shadow detail, do I tell him to "pull" process it or ask him to process
it normally? I think this is going to be a trial-and-error experience,
but I'd like to hear from some of you with more recent B&W experience
than mine.
Regards,
John P
