Response to Another reason to shoot Ilford? (Kodak messes with B&W emulsions)

For a hundred years or so manufacturers have been continuously modifying films in production with no notification to users. Sometimes this is done for product improvement reasons, others to introduce manufacturing process changes, and occasionally both. The Kodak press release and packaging revisions are a welcome deviation from past practice. At least we know to look for something different, and probably adjust our development times. If, as claimed, they're going to "...maintain the familiar, fundamental characteristics of the films while improving the physical characteristics of the negative..." all will be well. I'll reserve judgement until after having exposed, developed and printed some new TMX.
