Response to Plus X in ID-11

from Brian Hinther (brianh@onewest.net)
First of all, yes, ID-11 and D-76 are essentially the same. Secondly, your results are about what one could expect from what I consider to be the also-ran of medium speed films. In terms of grain, sharpness, and tonal scale, every other medium speed film out there is better than Plus-X. Even some "off-the-beaten-path" films like Efke 100 are better. Kodak itself makes two films that are better in Verichrome Pan and T-Max 100.

I'm sorry you have so much of a film whose glory days were the 60s. However, as other posters have suggested, you can still make some good photographs if you choose your subject matter carefully, and portraits may well be the highest and best use of a film like Plus-X.
