This is not to say I'm such a master, but I'm trying, and as long as I try, I'll try with something other than Tri-X, because..... I don't like grain, and I do like sharpness...I use Agfa APX 25 mostly; unfortunately tech pan is unavailable here<<< After all that posturing, you don't use Tech Pan because YOU CAN'T GET IT? In this age of mail-order and overnight delivery? You MUST be kidding. Where do you live, Antarctica? That's the weakest excuse I have ever heard. Tech Pan is the sharpest, most grainless, best-resolving film ever made, as anyone who knows anything will attest. If you don't like grain and do like sharpness, it is most assuredly "the" thing. You deserve Tech Pan. Tech Pan deserves you. And yet you turn your back on it for the sake of...mere...CONVENIENCE?!? I'm horrified. What an utter lack of committment to quality and craft. - --Mike
