Hi Frank.
I have only tried a roll of the 100 i bought from Aaron last fall,shot it on
a dull snowy day in January and developed in class 3 weeks ago.I got a keeper print of
my
daughter
riding her retired horse but i thought it looked a bit granier then say T-max or Delta
100,but as i say
not ideal conditions.The film itself feels thin and it curled quite a bit.
A girl in class developed a roll each of Agfa,Ilford fp4 and Tri-x.We all felt the
worst
to best contrast
was in this order.
OTOH i tried an liked the FP5 so now i think i'll carry Tri-x100,FP5,Delta 100, and
Tri-x
3200.
