Response to Examples of Tri-x, Pan F+, HP5+ ...

I agree with everything said here. The most general question one may ask is wheter to use new or old tech films because this is where the diffrences are realy obvious. It has been tons and tons of discussion at this and other forums, so I,m not going to repeat all of this. Practically, the shortest way is to get ISO 100 and 400 versions of the old and new tech films from same manufacturer ( say TMX, TMY vs.PX and TX) and compare them by couples (or not) according to your taste. Comparing Ilford and Kodak, I think is tricky and not the most useful thing to do. The products are so close, that often the difference seen can be due to other factors (processing, printing). I know that many people will argue that say TX is relly different from HP-5+ but for me the difference is so subtle that I couldn't decide which one I like more, for 15 years. And finally, I must state once again what has been stated before, namely that all of todays films are very good and can deliver nice pictures when used properly. E.
