As they say, Martin, America and English are the only two countries
separated by a common language. :-)

I believe that in the photo industry, Ilford is considered to have a slight
edge on quality in the black and white world. ID-11plus is non allergenic,
their Delta 400 has as fine grain (maybe?) at TMax 100. Delta 100 is
phenomenal.

I sometimes wish I was still doing black and white at least part of the
time. The exhibit I have hanging is almost half black and white,
hand-enlarged, and sure makes me wistful for the "good old days." All but
one of my prints is from a dye-sub printer, but everyone there couldn't
tell the difference between them and the one C print.
