I saw one account that wouldve meant using NEW TriX in my HC110B for 
only 3.5 minutes instead of the 7.5 - this is too much of a change for 
me.  If I'm going to change anything then it will be my film.  i like 
TriX but am not married to it.  Appears that Illford will be the 
recipient of more purchases.  i find HP5+ to be for me very ideal.
