So now and then I buy 10 rolls or so and give it a try again. Most of the time I've ended up giving the remainder away after failing for a few rolls. I got a question on another list about how 400tx compares to HP5+. So I tried again. http://www.dlridings.com/paw2005/05v27-0002.jpg M2, 50/2.8 Elmar (old), 1/60 @ 4.0, HC110 dil B, 5 1/2 minutes at 68 degrees It was the shot of Ewa in the restaurant that brought on the question. I posted it yesterday, but put it here for easy reference. Both shots are with window lighting. http://www.dlridings.com/paw2005/26alt1.html I could probably make friends with 400TX again. Don't know if I will. HP5+ handles easier for me in a variety of conditions, but 400TX feels better. I felt like a failed photographer if I couldn't get decent results with a well known and reliable film. Best, Daniel
