Hi ... I tend to agree with you about the T-grain and Delta films.
Never
liked their grain nor the tonality. Conventional B&W like PX, TX, and
others, always seem to deliver more pleasing results. I've played
with
Pan-F over the years and have always been a little dissatisfied
with it,
although I just bought another roll for use in the 6x6. May try to
compare
it with Efke 25.
I felt the same until I forced myself to work with them a lot. TMax
and Delta films can do better than PX, TX on both grain and tonality
but the chemistry and processing required are different. Pan F is
good, but never as good as APX25 was from what I've seen. But there
isn't much choice left in fine-grained film, slow speed film
emulsions now.
