Digital BW, The Print

Fortunately, I have a 2 year supply of Tech Pan in the freezer.  I'm still
guessing Canon will be the best solution by the time I run out.  But the
Type 55 is one of the several contenders I'm exploring as a solution to the
demise of my current favorite film.

As I just mentioned to someone off list, I recently scanned some of my old
Agfapan 25 mf negatives and was reminded how excellent that film was --
aside from the reciprocity failure ...  I suspect going back to a
traditional ISO 25 film in the form of Efke 25 would remind me in spades why
I switched away from Agfapan 25 long before that film was discontinued. 

Someone once defined "nostalgia" as "the past without the pain."  I try to
keep that in mind as I consider the alternatives to my dwindling TP stash.
