Response to Any body using Illford pan 400, T 400 cn

from Asher Schachter (schachter@a1.tch.harvard.edu)
Hi I've just started using T400CN but I've had much experience with its British cousin, Ilford XP2. The advantages are convenience, and large index prints which make it a bit easier to plan your cropping for the "real" print. If you view the color paper prints as proofs only, then the tinge of color is no problem. As good as XP2 is, its tones don't compare with Tri-X (what does???). I've also been using a yellow filter with pretty much the same effect as for conventional B&W. I'll be shooting a couple of rolls of T400CN this weekend- I'll get back to you.
