I probably shot 20,000 frames of Tri-X at basketball games in the mid-70's.
That's why I bought the OM-1 and OM-2; I was a yearbook and school paper
photographer. Usually pushed it to 1600. I did all the developing and
printing myself -- my best friend had a nice darkroom (and a beautiful
sister, but I had more luck in the darkroom, unfortunately). Rolled my own
cartridges from bulk film.
Couldn't tell you a thing about how I developed it, some 25 years later, but
the results were wonderful.
Might try it again, but what I am doing is working pretty well, so I guess
I'll stick with it.....
