But I'm sure there is an incompatibly issue there with Xtol. So i avoid it like the plague. And it bugs me not being able to go 1:3 with that film… But who cares when we have a slew of medium speed films to chose from. ACROSS from Neopan, Delta from Ilford and FP4 as you say. Delta I've had great luck with no so FP4 but the FP4 was decades ago and i was making different mistakes then. And as i see Tgrain 100 speed films to be high res films i think they compete with Pan F which is a stop slower though and that fact may are not be worth the stop. Technically I'd think by everyone I'd be called a slow film. But 50 is not so slow. 32 or 25 is slow. And whatever Tech pan film is.
