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

Hi,Yes, it's difficult to answer that question. When I started to take pictures seriously I tried everything. The difficulty is that you not only have to try the films but also the different developers. And there are so many combinations. So at a point I ended this search and concentrated again on the main thing; taking pictures. My favourite film is Tmax 400, in the Tmax developer. For me grain is nice as long as it is sharp grain. This film has it. When using fast films, I'll take Fuji 1600, which has a really sharp grain. Never the Tmax 3200 anymore, it's so blurry. The contrast of the Fuji is nice to,no matter if you develop it in Tmax or Fuji developer. When it has to be grainless I don't switch over to 50 ASA films; I just grap my pinsharp secondhand Yashica 124-Mat,and put a Tmax 100 in it. Simple !
