I have been praying that someone would develop a home brew for chromogenic B&W films (an alternative to C-41 without all of the temperature restraints), but none has surfaced. BD, what do you use to soup the Tri-X? I understand your rationale re: the cart and horse, but the only films I have found easy to scan to date have been chromogenic (but the Agfa 100 shows some real promise).
