Yes, B.D.,

Any  suggestions for a "silver rich" B&W film? Tri-X, HP5, Bergger, Foma,  
Fuji????? None seem to have the emulsion I remember from some years  
back. Even Bergger, which is doggone pricey, seems thin by comparison.  
Sure wish I could get some old Tri-X from about 1972. I could care less  
about sharpness, or grain, but do like tonality.

I'm not B.D., but I have used a Kaypro.  Have you  ever tried XP2?  I mean 
REALLY tried  it?
