I said faster is better as long as you don't top out on shutter speed and don't want blur which is the norm not the exception. If tmax 400 could emulate plusx125 exactly I would gladly trade the plusx for the tmax and "live with" the extra 1 1/2 stops of usable speed thank you very much. JCO

Rarely is all else equal ... and faster film, as I said, with many cameras, does not allow as much use of wider apertures. Faster film is not better, it's just faster. YMMV, and obviously it does.
