Subject: [Leica] fp4 vs. pxp vs. tmx

Folks,

Okay, $64,000 film question here -- I'm looking for opinions, so let them
fly.  I'll start my own experiments this weekend, but, still...

PXP is an old staple of mine.  I like the way it looks and I know the
results I can get from it.  TMax 100 is obviously great in its own way, but
I actually the slightly higher contrast and, yes, grain of PXP.

I have not really experimented with FP4, ever.  I'm just looking to shake
things up a bit, using a "new" film primarily for environmental
portraitature.

Any comments, caveats, etc. about FP4 vs. the others?  If you love/hate/are
indifferent, please explain why.

Thanks!
