PMK - Question about format

from John Kilmer (tcompton@citlink.net)
I've gone through this board and other sites and read everything I can on PMK without getting the book. My question is a simple one aimed at those who like using PMK. Is this worth it to use for 35mm film? I kind of get the idea that people that really like this formula are view camera people. I've read some insinuations on some posts that the benefits to 35mm film are slight to non-existent. I'm coming back into darkroom work after a long time. I just got an old B-8 with a cold light. I've pretty much settled on Tri-X or HP5 to start out. I want to settle on one developer for awhile, also. I'm reading some stuff about two stage D-76 that sounds good, also. Anyway, I'll concentrate on this one area for this post. In summary, PMK for 35mm worthwhile and does it do better with a cold light or condenser? I've been lurking here for a few weeks, and I do appreciate all the info I've absorbed just by reading all the old posts. Thanks M.R. for a great board.
