Hi Robert, Congratulations! What is your new daughter's name? ...and a bunch more questions... Anyway, there seems to be quite a variance of preferences for B&W materials among the highly capable members of the PDML, and their results can be viewed on the PUG every month. I have been using Ilford HP5+ and developing it in Hutchins PMK, which is a bit tricky to get used to. My students have been using the Ilford with Kodak D-76, and with usually fine results. Kodak has refined its TRI-X 400 speed film in the last few years, and I have begun to use it for personal work again, but I'm in still in the learning curve with that. PDML stalwarts make a good case for TRI-X and D-76. Let me know how it goes, post some pictures on the list and I'm sure there will be many valuable opinions offered by various members who have much more experience in portaiture than I. Best wishes, Bob
