A rule I have broken recently, however, is my own insistence upon slow color film. I did a portrait shoot the other day (actor's headshot) with a roll of Kodak TMZ I had sitting in the fridge. Shot it at EI 1000, and processed normal (1200). The results were *superb.* I shot a roll or Tri-X at the same time, and the grain was virtually identical. I find it peculiar that Tmax technology gives ordinary grain -- I thought these films had their own peculiar effects when pushed (and I haven't used them all that much). Anyone else have experience with ultra-fast black and white film? I'm told the Neopan is even better.s Douglas Cooper www.dysmedia.com > E: Putting titanium lens on silver body.
