The TCN and XP2 are chromogenic films suitable for C41 processing and so would be convenient if you are not into doing your own darkroom work. IMO, I would prefer the silver halide films for their archival qualities. All films are printable when properly exposed. Some people still prefer the look of the silver halide emulsions. There is no right or wrong. >Why is it that your Tri-X and HP5, appear to be favoured as against Plus X >or FP4 ? Just a matter of speed. I find 400 films more versatile for my style of available light shooting. From 400, I can push or pull from 100-1600 as I like. Dan K.
