Going off on a total tangent here...
Have a look at the Sebastiao Sebalgado book _Workers_. He used a lot
of TMAX 3200 for that project, especially the oil fire section. Heavy
grain but I really like it.
Keep an eye out also for the French TV series "100 images of the XXth
century". Each episode spends about 10 minutes on a famous
photograph, with interviews and background info. They usually show
the original contact sheet, so you get to see the film used and what
the "rejects" looked like.
Man, if I could just make rejects like those... :-)

Agreed. I'm a one-shotter too (I use Ilford's liquid concentrate,
which is again rumoured to be the same old D76/ID11 formula, or at
least has markedly similar characteristics).
