Give up Tri X and go for HP5+? Pyro Developers?

[Bruno Gracia]

thanks a lot!

By the way, if You know another good film not to expensive with great tonality... My favourite one was Neopan 400, but here in Europe is prohibitive... and what I've seen of HP5+ I've liked it. How can I explain myself? Those "metal greys" and huge range of them.

I find HP5+ loads easier into reels. No bad things to say about it yet, save that I keep finding TriX for less.

I don't know about anywhere else but last time I bought bulk HP5 from B&H I could get 3 100" rolls for a hair more than 2x 100" rolls of Tri-X.

One of many reasons I don't use Kodak these days

Another vote for Prescysol EF - a very easy to use developer that I've had excellent results with. Goes very well with HP5+

mm... why the Prescysol EF is special? or different to other? Which are the qualities?
