And they also have VERY different density curves when developed in the same developer (my preferred soup is D-76 1:1, just to keep things on topic). In my experience at least, I tend to prefer the curve and texture that PlusX gives for people pictures, while TMax works better for "place" or "thing" shots.
TMax 400 is also a lot fussier about dev times, and if I remember the curves correctly, the reciprocity failure kicks in sooner and harder than PlusX. I really need to shoot some more B&W. Got some Ilford HP5 plus that needs souping, but other than that, I've been lax recently. -Mat On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 13:46:44 -0600, William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "D.
