Thanks Sam. I shot some more yesterday of some sites around
here (cholera graveyard from the 1800's, an old church
nearby). I'm really looking for a film that will work for me
in both 35mm and 120 ...  and a film I can get a steady
reliable supply of. I keep coming back to 400TX, so that
will probably be it. I've used all of these films for so
many years, ... I guess I'm not really testing ... just
piddling around.

Some people attribute "creamy" and "smoothness" to the
Scheider Xenar on Rolleicords. If you set them at 5.6 and go
in for a portrait, just about any film shines.
