I always shot Tri-x and devloped in Microdol x 1:3. Color wise, it was pkr 64 - until that elite chrome stuff came out I discovered it in 1994. Still preferred PKR 64 but after Fairlawn went away I wasn't happy with any of the processing I got. The last time I shot a roll of Kodachrome I couldn't get it developed in Manhattan. Yeah, I'm sure, I could have taken it SoMEWHERE but my usual haaunts wouldn't do it. Then I got the digital cam :) ann, who is trying to remember who it was who predicted my swing to digital "within a year" um, well over a year ago. Someday I'll learn never to say never.
