Their HP-5+ and FP-4+ are similar to Kodak's Plus-X and Tri-X in that they're not delta or T-grain. I have read many times that both T-Max and Delta tend to block up in the highlights, that they're less forgiving of underexposure and less forgiving of time/temp variations in processing. OTOH, most praise the grain. I guess it's the trade-off. Personally, I like HP-5+ overexposed a bit. - -- regards, Henry Posner Director of Sales and Training B&H Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio Inc. http://www.bhphotovideo.com
