If people don't get bored, there will be more. I enjoy doing it and have cut out something of a niche there. I'll be there taking pictures every week anyway. You never know what you'll get. I'll have to agree that TMZ works best with flat light (low, flat light). You can almost say the same for Tmax in general. I don't have experience of the Tmax-100, but the 400 will also go through the roof if the lighting is too contrasty. In low flat light, though, you can go pretty far with it. I process one roll in Xtol (stock), but I was really disappointed by the results. It was a fresh batch of Xtol, but it really looked thin. There are two shots from the session with it http://www.dlridings.com/jam/050219/pages/05v07-0043.html and http://www.dlridings.com/jam/050219/pages/05v07-0039.html "Nja" (that Swedish for saying "no" and "yes" at the same time). Maybe it's not as bad as I thought. Everything else was HC110. That's some pretty reliable goo. I can't say much about anything else, but it is just reliable. I like that. I'll check out the other stuff. I'm starting to like this and one thing is leading to another. My problem is time. I'm too old to run around with marginal minutes. I never get to sleep away a Sat afternoon on the soffa anymore :-) Best, Daniel
