>>I read with interest comments on B&W film and development, and have a
large backlog of postings on this subject.  I haven't heard anyone
comment on Kodak's Plus-X 125 asa, tho I have heard lots about Delta 100,
and APX 25.  Anyone care to comment?


Sure, I use Plus-X more than all other black and white films. The only one
better in this speed range was Verichrome Pan. I was also a big fan of
Panatomic-X. What some do not either understand or realize is that if
Plus-X is developed in Microdol-X, 1:3, it will yield negatives with
exceedingly fine grain and sharpness. Kodak explained that it is the
sharpest film and developer combination they offered. But now we have the
T-Grain materials. I still use Plus-X and Microdol developer.
