Last year I bought about 40 boxes of frozen ADOX from a fellow who had the 
stuff in storage. I, too, had used it many years ago back when the resolution 
champ was High Contrast Copy Film. The ADOX was much easier to control and 
gave better gradation. However, until I bought this stash of ADOX I had been 
using Tech Pan. I am now comparing negatives (almost as I write this) and my 
feeling is that ADOX KB14 is bested my Tech Pan in resolution and edge 
sharpness while the ADOX will ne easier to print.  The contrast is better 
controlled. The details are there in ADOX, but they are razor sharp with Tech 
Pan.
