I bought a roll of Verichrome Pan the other day. Didn't know they still made it, but I guess it's available in 120. I did a model shoot today, but stuck with my Plus-X. Perhaps I'll try the Verichrome Pan tomorrow. I'm not sure if XX is available in the US. Haven't seen it in a long time. Royal X was a favorite of mine back in the seventies. I used to shoot 120 Royal X at 4800 for indoor basketball and wrestling matches. It was grainy but had nice mid tone greys. Paul
