Once all you Tri-X worshippers wake up from your 10 year nap and
try a "modern" :^) B&W film, you'll kick yourself for your lost
opportunities.
I find it hard to belive that anyone who uses Fuji Neopan or Agfa
B&W would ever consider using Tri-X or even Ilford again.
Unlike Leicas, there is no benefit from using "old" technology film.
What's next cyanotypes?
