I started to use Bergger 200 two years ago when I bought my first Lotus View (Lotus were the prime movers of Bergger in Europe). It does have an outstanding "stain" in PMK although I am having difficulties with Laban's Rollo Pyro method because I'm basically a tray processor... I love those long silences in the dark because they give me more thinking time (I'm not a music fan whilst in the darkroom). However, my qeually positive response to the Henning's HP5+ statement was qualified by my use of all popular film sizes, not just sheet film. BTW: Did you know that Ron Wisner (of Wisner Cameras) is trying to establish a user base for the old Kodak XX sheet film so that he can negotiate with Kodak on its reintroduction... continuing exciting times for traditional monochrome workers I think.
