Subject: [Leica] TRI-X: RIP

HP5 Plus gives good tonality in PMK, but in normal developers like D76 or
Tmax Developer, I agree that Tri-X has nicer tonality. I've heard people
complain that the current Tri-X was 'ruined' by Kodak and isn't as good as
the 'old' Tri-X. I don't see it. The current Tri-X is beautiful and seems
about the same as it was before they switched to the current factory
(which is when it was last reformulated).
