My local store has been out of Neopan for a while and I have wanted to support the local place for film purchases. The new Tri-X is a very, very nice film with very fine grain and a wonderful abiltiy to shrug off exposure errors: exposure errors such as you get when shooting a 70 year old III by seat of the pants exposure and a shutter that could probably be worked on :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 8/11/05, Eric <ericm@pobox.com> wrote: > Anybody have experience with both Neopan 400 and Delta 400 in Xtol? > > My favorite place to buy film, B&H, is out of stock of Neopan 400.
