Response to Highest resolution B&W film (+ dev) other than Tech Pan?

The advise given by John Hicks,in my opinion,is good advise. John seems tho have tried every film/developer combination going & has been kind enough to offer his findings to one & all. In another respect you could be chasing the Holy Grail as perfection using 35mm will be difficult if not impossible to obtain. We 35mm users can never expect to achieve the quality obtainable with 4x5 or medium format; using 3 backs for expansion & contraction. I have found that Delta 100 developed in ID11 to be as good as I can achieve; but your results for many reasons; could differ from mine or anyone elses. Pick one of the easy to find respected films & try it in your choice of developer & try every combination of film speed, developer time & dilution that you can before moving to a different film or developer. Hope this helps, Melvin
