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

from Jorge Gasteazoro (rossorabbit@hotmail.com)
David I dont know if it is "being screwed" but I think that when you change emulsion so that you need different development times then the intrisic chracteristic of the film must also change. I use TMX and TMY and since I have been using them for many years I know them very well etc, now I have to go and make more tests (which I have had no need to do for years) and hope that the response to my developer will be the same! So you see I am getting screwed since Kodak is now making more busy work for me for no reason at all. With my loading technique I never had to spot a print and had no problem with dust, so this new process must have something to do with something else since I have never seen a package that comes with dust inside.

Lets face it they are either fixing somehting that is not broken or are changing the film in some manner and they dont want to alarm people. In any case the "dust control" explanation seems rather weak to me.
