p.j.,
Hehe - if you've only received two suggestions, you're doing better than
I thought you would. Then there's the Ilford Delta stuff (yuk -- I
don't get along with it), Agfa's stuff, etc...
Plus-X is ISO125 film. Nice tonality, nice grain. Tri-X is ISO400 or
ISO320 film. Classic tonality, decent grain.
Souped -- developed in
D76 -- One of Kodak's old-time developers. The combination of Tri-X &
D76 is well known for it's "classic" tonality.
1:1 -- use D76 at a 1-part developer and 1-part water dilution.
Have fun!
Dave

From Walt:
<<<Plus-X. Ignore all other suggestions. :-)>>>
From KN:
<<<Oh, this one is TOO easy. TRI-X or PAN-X.>>>
Somehow I knew this would happen :-)
At least you two are talking about the same manufacturer...but
it's only
been 5 minutes since I sent my original post! Wait, I don't
seen PAN-X at
B&H. Are Plus-X and PAN-X the same? ....oh, more
replies....Plus-X it is!
From Dave:
<<<I concur re the Tri-X. Make sure it's souped in D76
1:1...>>>
D76 1:1? Whatever that means. I'll deal with that when I get
back!
This stuff needs to be refrigerated, yes?
Thanks to all!
