I used to think so too. But I have just not succeeded in getting
equivalents results with 400TX as I was getting with Tri-X 400. My problem
is getting flat, flat scans from it. Rich in greys, grey blacks and grey
whites.

But then I don't feel the same need for Tri-X anymore. If it's light, FP4
is just fine. If it's not light, Neopan 1600 is my choice. Tri-X just
doesn't fill a gap anymore so I haven't bothered all that much with it any
more. The last couple of weeks are an exception. For some reason I decided
to give it a go again. But my conclusion is to take the 40 rolls back and
exchange them. It's not worth the effort.

Works great in 120 format ... but then I use a different scanner too. That
could be it. Who cares.
