This is to recommend an article in the (current) May issue of Popular Photography by Dick Delagi entitled "One Man's Quest for Ultimate B&W Quality." He discusses his use of the "ancients": Adox KB-14, Agrfa Isopan FF, Dokupan, etc., etc, and development in Ethol TEC, FR X-22, Neofin Blue, etc. Then his migration to Technical Pan 2415, and his modification of the POTA formula, which modification was the precursor to Kodak's Technidol LC. He then found XP1, which he says he now uses for almost 90% of his (35mm) work. The article has a very complete discussion on how to expose and process XP1. A few times a year, magazines like Popular and Modern have articles truly worth reading. This is one of those times. -- Herb Kanner Tymnet, Inc.
