Of course it could be me but I don't think so. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's only bad in contrast and grain if not processed properly. For people used to processing more forgiving films, it can be a bear. I had problems with it when overexposed, or overdeveloped. When processed and exposed properly, only Delta 100 could compete for grain with 100 OR 400 TMax films. Don't believe me. Just wait for John Sexton's next book coming out about power stations. Some of those pictures prove TMax can handle a massive amount of contrast and give beautiful highlights and shadows. It's all in the processing. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch "A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
