Subject: [Leica] Hey B.D., what kind of B&W film do you like

Yes, B.D.,

Any suggestions for a "silver rich" B&W film? Tri-X, HP5, Bergger, Foma, 
Fuji????? None seem to have the emulsion I remember from some years 
back. Even Bergger, which is doggone pricey, seems thin by comparison. 
Sure wish I could get some old Tri-X from about 1972. I could care less 
about sharpness, or grain, but do like tonality.
