I wonder if you've tried the "new" TRI-X 400, the one with the 400TX 
lettering on the box.

I've been using TMY in mf format for a long time, so maybe it's time 
I have a look at the newer film emulsion. I'll sure give Portra 400BW 
a try but if i'm not mistaken, you dont like too much for daytime 
use. Can you just "soup" it up in PS, or does this induce unwanted 
results ?
