Response to XP2 or Delta for Wedding Work

Hi. I don't do wedding work, but use mostly fast films,and have some experience with most of today,s emulsions. XP-2 or T-400 CN are great, but to get most of them, print on B&W paper. I prefer the look of the classical films Tri-X and HP-5+ are great. How large prints do you make? For me the grain is not bothering (unless huge) but customers often get dissapointed. If you prefer to be grainess above 18x24 size then stick to TMZ (XP-2 or T-400 CN also have very small grain) but beware that consistent processing is essential. At the fastest end Fuji Neopan 1600 rated at ISO 1000 is by far the best in therms of grain and contrast. Hope this helps. E.
