Fast emulsions often had horrible chalk and soot tonality. I know that Tri-X isn't what is used to be. And I am not going to proseletyse for t-grain. But emulsions like APX 400 and HP5+ developed in Xtol are wonderful and way beyond what was available 50 yrs ago. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com ICQ: 109343205
