[Leica] Film snobs and Tri-X

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

I suppose I'm unsophisticated but your response was useless for
understanding WHY you don't like Tri-X and why you feel other films
are worthy of investigation.

I haven't shot enough film of any kind to really know it - although of
the films I've experimented with I'm finding that I do like the look
of Tri-X as a silver emulsion film.

Your thoughts about why you dislike Tri-X and what you look for in
other films that are better would be instructive and I'd enjoy reading
them: what you want to exploit in Tri-X that you can't, how other
films solve that problem for you. That's really useful.

Thanks

Adam
