RE: [Digital BW] your favorite film

2002-09-05 by Ton Guiking

What about low light situations (in which I'm working quite often)? At
the moment I still use Tri-X and D-76 (or let's say: returned to it,
couldn't get the TMAX 400 developed in a satisfactory way, Tri x is more
forgiving) 
Best,
Ton Guiking
