Phil Forrest gave me a roll (thanks!) in NYC, and it does appear to be close to "old school" film. Of course I really don't know much about old school film but it does the job competently, even in this era of mixed analog/digital workflow. In the "Mark is sometimes right even when he is wrong" department, I have settled on Acros 100 for landscape at ISO100, TriX for people/landscape at ISO320 and low light stuff of Neopan 1600 at ISO1000, all souped in the 2-bath Pyrocat-HD. I would gladly use the XX for Tri-X stuff but the Tri-X works so well that there's hardly any need. I buy the Arista Premium from Freestyle which is Tri-X for just over $3 a roll so the cost is not bad either.
