It's not as much of a hassle as people make it out to be and it's dirt cheap because you only use a little of the stock solution (which has a loooong shelf life). The only real hassle is having to invert the tank every 15 seconds (remember to use the restroom first), and you have to use alkaline developer. Buy both from Photographer's Formulary in liquid form.

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.
