   I recently saw a neat-looking book in the Kodak series, called
"Kodak professional B&W films". It has all the info about Technical
Pan in it. Try a big photo store with a book department. The only
thing I remember is that the speed is 32-320 depending on the
developer. Also, I believe "Darkroom Photography" had an article
about T. Pan in one of their last 5 issues. 
   I know it isn't much help, sorry, but I thought that net.users should
hear about the Kodak book.

Ah, Tech Pan... The stuff is great. It can be used at almost any
speed (I've seen it anywhere from 25 with HC-110 (dilution B) with
excelent results (good contrast, best grain going, terrific
resolution), all the way up through ~250 with D-76 (full strength
at ~73 degrees, coming out looking slightly like infra-red...). It's
fun to play around with, because it's so tough to ruin a roll. On
the other hand, there's a good chance of finding something new out
of the film every time you use it. Enjoy...
