Response to Best developer for Tri-X?

Greg, some developers are good in enhancing sensitivity/speed, some are good in fine grain, others are good in sharpness, etc. Mostly developers who are good for pushing, are not good for fine grain (Microphen, Promicrol, HC110). For fine grain developers it is the other way around. Perceptol is a fine grain developer, but it just does not get all the speed out of a film. If you test your Tri-X/Perceptol according to zone-system criteria you will find that you will get a reasonable tonal scale in pictures exposed at 160 ASA.
