The person in charge of the project is a good friend of mine and a Leica user. As I understand things, they moved the production of Tri-X and Plus-X to the new state-of-the-art coating plant and made minor changes in the base to make the films more resistant to static electricity. My friend told me, development times could change + or - fifteen seconds. They felt it was better to tell customers about the change, rather than have people complain after the fact. Personally, I find it amazing, someone would criticize a product BEFORE trying it. The new emulsions are not even on the market yet! To Allan, at this point in time, there are NO plans to discontinue Plus-X or Tri-X. To Matteo, the change is to improve the product.
