Yes, they did find a cheaper way to make them -- they abandoned Plus-X and Tri-X's original film bases and now make them on TMax's base. A sign that they were not at all the same films: Kodak gave us a big pack of sample rolls, not to give out, but to re-calibrate our processing. The six months I spent trying to differentiate "new" and "old" Tri-X to make sure I processed it all properly were not exactly all fun. -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
