BTW: Did your move north have anything to do with a "low number" or was it a lady that drew you up?

Cost has nothing to do with it. I'd be concerned about QC. Other choices are Ilford, Fuji, Efke/Adox, etc., in that order. Ilford is committed to film/b&w with high level of quality, Fuji may be committed but QC is high, and Efke/Adox is committed but I am not sure of quality.Frank Granovski said:
I test and "dial in" film/developer/paper combinations, so selecting a new "platform" is not a trivial matter to me. If Perez says "film is dead", I don't get the warm fuzzies from State Street. Turning right off my sidestreet leads directly to his office building. Doesn't help me much, though.

Wow - mine was #93! Made me stay in college at SUNY/Buffalo - but was ready to head north. I was class of '73.
Call up "slipped" to around 50 when they finally stopped the D.
I was with my wife #1 back then too. We were dumb and young!
It took me 10+ years to find #2.
She still puts up with me, thank goodness.

Ok, at work I was "the pup", now I'm beginning to be "the old one", but here at RFF I feel like I'm wet behind the ears. The only Mets I remember are the 1986 Mets. Boston Red Sox vs. The Mets. The whole Series was not fit for the faint of heart. You'd think the Red Sox were under some sort of "curse" or something 😉

#20 !!!
College Deferrment kept me safe in '73. We could have been neighbors. On a serious side I have a 20 year old who has muscular dystrophy and a strong 15 year old. I am concerned for both of them considering world tensions and enlistment levels. So, maybe the frozen tundra will beckon a'gin. A long drive from Paradise (sunny south Florida).

Kodak sells emultion in drums to Lucky who, rather poorly, lays it down thinly. I have some Lucky 100 SHD in 120 rolls. After my first few experiences with its quality, I fond it worth paying the extra cents for PlusX. 😡Frank Granovski said:

No, it's a "partnership" in which Kodak provides the emultions and Lucky the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution in the region.copake_ham said:

Jaap: Yes, the standard disclaimer is very much necessary:
"Also forget the PanFPlus. The Delta100 is better in all respects expect fineness of grain. The definition of fine detail however is quite lower and this will lower the impact of the print. With developers like Paterson FX39 the film is capable of excellent results however."
He contradicts himself in the same paragraph; the judgement is SO subjective yet he says something like "forget the PanFPlus."
Thanks for my morning laugh!

Yes Earl, that is a woops. Maybe the reason he stopped with his website was that it was too much work to correct everything. Still I like to read his articles as there are many interesting and enlightening parts as well, but are they the gospel truth? Well, no.

I don't calibrate film/dev/paper as precisely as you seem to do, but I've shot quite a lot of Efke KB100 without problems. Shoot the film, off it goes into Rodinal 1+50 and then straight into the Konica Minolta (rest in peace) Scan Dual IV and the results are consistent and reliable.
And back in my student days during the 80's - when I had less money but more time than now and thus had time for printing - Efke had a great fiber paper, Emaks 888 I think it was called, with wonderful shadowtones.

Combined with Fuji's announcement I feel quite confident in the future of film.
