For some reason, the newer films seem to do worse with pyro than do the
older formulations. It may be that the reduced silver translates to reduced
staining. FP4 seems to be the middle speed film of choice. Unfortunately for
me, I ordered $250 of it last week and FedEx Ground delivered it to the
wrong location. I guess I'll use of some of my old HP5 in the meantime.

EI 100 will probably work out just fine, Jeffery. Slobodan has pointed out
on another list something we should all take to heart. The latitude of
modern films is such that this 1/2 stop, one stop here or there really
doesn't make a lot of difference.

I kind of pride myself on my technique, but I noted something yesterday that
put me in place. I had mistakenly taken a few frames of Delta 100 as if it
was Tri-X rated at 500/640. I discovered my mistake and just finished off
the roll normally and processed it normally, expecting to lose the
underexposed frames. I was just testing anyway, so it didn't matter.

Not perfect, of course, but I think a lot of my success should simply be
credited the high quality of modern films.
