[Leica] B&W

[Mark Rabiner]

FP4 is light bright and snappy looking than Plus x it’s the shape of the curve not the amount of development or paper contrast.
B&H has Delta 100 a tab grain film which is as sharp and grainless as Agfapan 25 was.
If you liked the look of Plus X I'd shoot Delta 400 which though two stops faster has less grain and as much sharpness but depending on which developer and dilution. The stuff you read on the internet on the old films being better is really dumb stuff. Test it yourself.

    Hi Folks:
    
    I'm down to my last three rolls of my beloved Kodak Plus-X film.
    
    Can anyone recommend an Ilford film which is similar to Plus-X... 
    perhaps FP4?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jim Hemenway - still using film, but saving my pennies for the new 
    Pentax full frame,
    hopefully before my expiration date.
