Response to Why not make FULL use of chromogenic B&W film?

i use TCN for making "fine prints" all the time. i think it's a beautiful film in the darkroom on ilford's MG-IV papers, though, by kodak's own admission, it was designed primarily for machine printing. it has incredibly huge exposure latitude, terrific sharpness, and nearly non-existent grain. for chromogenic c-41 film, some of my buddies prefer ilford's xp2-super, which lacks the orange mask. i've never even used xp2-super, but plan on doing so on vacation in a few weeks.

to call any of kodak's, ilford's, or fuji's films "junk" is rather silly and ignorant of the patently subjective nature of photography.
