I'd be interested in some comments on the best medium and high speed b&w film and developer combinations. It would be an added bonus to get a description of the strengths of the film/developer combination. I have not used black&white for many years. I now have some work I must do in B&W and have found a local lab I can use, but my old combination (Ilford FP4 in dilute D76 with Chrone additive) I am sure has long since been superseded. I would be grateful for recommendations from the group. Medium speed (100) 1. Ilford Delta 100? With what? 2. T-Max 100? With what? (is there sufficient contrast?) Medium to High Speed 1. Tri-X (Rodinol 1/50) 2. T-Max? With what? 3. Ilford Delta? With what? - --Gib
