Hi, Aaron,
Thanks for the advice. I'll have to give Neopan a try again, given your
comments. Actually, I brought the Neopan to a lab that sent out their b&w work to
another one. In the interim between my use of Neopan and my "experiment" of
pushing T-Max and Tri-X, I switched labs to a pro lab here in Toronto. I've been
more than happy with the results from my "new" lab, and given your comments, I'll
have to give Neopan another shot.
Thanks again.
regards,
frank
