I am now using the dichroic filters on my Durst color head but those are not so practical in use as the usual under the lens filters. If your filter set is not faded I would be interested.

General purpose, available light. I shoot family and landscape with such a film. I never print bigger than 8x10, or I scan. I use a variety of cameras, compact PS to Canon FD SLRs and TLRs, and so sometimes I want to shoot 12 or so exposures. That's why I want a 400 speed film in bulk roll. ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/plQXVk5dB2Wr_A6U0KoTu82T-3w/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/plQXVk5dB2Wr_A6U0KoTu82T-3w/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/plQXVk5dB2Wr_A6U0KoTu82T-3w/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/plQXVk5dB2Wr_A6U0KoTu82T-3w/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~4/SCFjce1F66A" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,28 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~3/mtbjDDODric/Opinion-Please,27 http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,27 Richard, There have been some very long discussions on APUG as to whether the formula given in Anchell is equivalent to Microdol and how it relates to Microdol-X.

He gives a mix to approximately equal it by using the D-23 plus salt. The Metol is reduced to 5 grams/liter, 100gr sulfite and 30gr sodium chloride. It's unpublished from Kodak.

It just isn't suited for rotary processing. On that note, if you do use microdol, you may want to stock up on it.

A few years ago, during the switch over of coating machines at Kodak, we couldn't get 120 TMX here in Barbados but they could get m 120 Plus-X which I used to shoot some portraits and ads. I was suddenly reminded what I liked about Plus-x.it was less red sensitive than either TMX or TMY so it rendered the skin tones a bit richer.less porcelain (too white compared to hair, clothing, etc.) than TMX. It is grainier but those tones are lovely. ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ogDCbu20fkcefhTdUPOVpXC427k/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ogDCbu20fkcefhTdUPOVpXC427k/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ogDCbu20fkcefhTdUPOVpXC427k/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ogDCbu20fkcefhTdUPOVpXC427k/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~4/ZPZ7hWQi9G0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,20 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~3/DOvlIiz6_uo/Opinion-Please,19 http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,19 That's all I use.

One day I asked why she didn't use tmax and she said it's because tmax looks dead. I thought, OK, and one day she used a roll of tmax for the same subjects as she always shoots and processed in tmax 1:7 it did lack vibrancy, and looked 'dead' on the proof sheet. Now I can't put it into specifics like d-log H curves or finer grain or something more quantifiable, but with film, sometimes there's more than what we can quantify at work, although I'm sure one who knows could.

Well I wasn't considering anything besides HP5+ or Tri-X because I thought either would work well in my D76. I was trying to go from the developer to the film. My reasoning to stick with D76 is because it's good stuff at a great price, easy to get, and keeps a long time. Is TMax going to work well in D76? Or am I going to lose the advantage of the special emulsion, and it'll just look like Tri-X? ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rS_HCVa9IADKfh-_YO-FmRFRBUU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rS_HCVa9IADKfh-_YO-FmRFRBUU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rS_HCVa9IADKfh-_YO-FmRFRBUU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rS_HCVa9IADKfh-_YO-FmRFRBUU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~4/O4FIgrTXef0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,14 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freelists-feeds/pure-silver/~3/LdtfEI8dNug/Opinion-Please,13 http://www.freelists.org/post/pure-silver/Opinion-Please,13 Tom Kershaw Would you still recommend T-Max 400 over Tri-X even in situations where metering or lighting conditions are uncertain, i.e. without using a spot meter?

Nothing keeps anyone from shooting TMY at an EI of 32,000 - ditto with Tri-X - and souping it for as long as they want in the developer of their choice.
