	Agfa APX - 25
	Kodak Technical Pan

	But it will have to be your decision.
	For instance i don't like the T-Max images
	i have seen, COMPARED to Plus-X . . .
	which, to me, seem far more subtle.

	Diafine ?
	Acufine ?

	Though i prefer color a million to one,
	B&W photography involves truly many aesthetic choices.
	Especially if you are of the Zone System variety
	of photographers. Then, subjects and photo
	image structure and "personal vision" come in . . .

	Aren't you tempted to Velvia, RSX-II 50,
	Kodachrome Pro 25, fabulous K-64 PRO?
	Ektachrome E100SW . . .
	Kodak Royal Gold 25, Fuji CS Superia Reala 100 . . .
	Agfa Optima II  ? ? ?
