I have one more question; what enlarger do you use? It will of course come down to your personal taste for grain, contrast, and how you like to print. Of the two, I prefer tri x to tmax.

Elias, What is you subject matter and light source? General purpose, available light. I shoot family and landscape with such a film. I never print bigger than 8x10, or I scan. I use a variety of cameras, compact P&S to Canon FD SLRs and TLRs, and so sometimes I want to shoot 12 or so exposures. That's why I want a 400 speed film in bulk roll. I'm almost settled on Tri-X, but you've all got me thinking about TMAX400 now. I guess I'll have to buy a roll of each and see what I get. By the way what's the Different between the Tri-X labeled TX (green and yellow box) and the Tri-X Pan (red and yellow box)? Elias
