Kodak also did this with Plus-X, the roll film was a
general purpose film, the sheet film was an "all toe" film
mainly for studio photos where exagerated highlights were
desired. The difference was even greater than for Tri-X.
Both forms of Plus-X were the same speed which made it even
more confusing. I have no idea why they did this other than
Kodak seems to like recycling tradenames. The tone rendition
of the two types is noticably different.
