In Gordon H's book of Pyro he gives times and suggested EIs for Tri-X but it isn't clear if he's refering to the 35mm Tri-X or Tri-X Pro or Tri-X Pan.

Does anyone know which specific emulsion he's refering to and does anyone know of a good starting point for Tri-X Pro 120?

Thanks

I've never used Tri-X Pro, but regular old Tri-X Pan (35mm flavour) is heavenly in PMK. Rate at ISO 400, 14:00 at 21 degrees 1:2:100 dilution, two violent shakes of agitation each 15 seconds, one minute water wash, 3-4 minutes in alkaline fixer (like TF-4), one minute wash, two minutes bath in the used developer, fifteen minute wash. Stain to die for, and beautiful prints, promarily on contrast grade two, when exposed with my equipment.
