Hi, After some discussion with Shel, he reccomended TriX to me and i've been using it for most of my b/w since then, i do use Neopan 1600 when i need some xtra speed (which is a really good film for its speed).
I really like TriX and I like the grain :) Although i havent tried that many other 400 b/w films, the other film i have used is Neopan 400 and a little HP4. I develop mine in Xtol, I have also developed it in Rodinal (only twice) and ID-11 a number of times. But with Xtol i seem to get a nice combination of sharpeness, fine grain and nice tones. I think it was slighty sharper in Rodinal, but not by much. But the grain was a problem for me. Regards, Paul Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. C.
