I haven't shot FP4 in a decade. Xtol I've been using for less than 2 years. I'm sure FP4 would look marvelous in Xtol like most films seem to. I still have a few left over bricks of 220 Plus x but have switched to Delta 400 and 100 with both my 35mm and medium format work. But as Delta 100 does not come in 220 i may still keep stocking and using the Plus X. A more brilliant film than FP4 which i think os more strait line. Smooth and gorgeous for landscapes. But the "fleshtones" i get with plus x it does not match. So if your inclined to use FP4 you'll have to come up with your own time which you'd get after a trial or two. I strongly suggest 1:3. It should look like slow film and be enlargeable to well over 11x14 before falling apart. mark rabiner :) http://spokenword.to/rabiner/
