Tri-X is still one of Kodak's biggest B&W sellers because a lot people like the results they get with it, consistently. It's also very tolerant of exposure and processing variations, more so than the T-grain films, and that suits some folks' shooting style. If you didn't like the results you had with Tri-X and HC110 or Xtol a few months ago, you might try changing the developing time and arrive at one that works for you. But if you're getting results you like with your current film/developer combo, stick with that. Chuck Albertson Seattle, Wash. > > I agree.
