Hi Sanders,
Are you using Tri-X now for your portrait work? I seem to remember
you using Neopan 400 but maybe I got it wrong, and that film has been
discontinued.
Any suggestions on a good film-developer combination?
Did they make the Ilfospeed head for several different enlargers?
Great work BTW - subversive or not. Hope you figure out the film /
print and other gear storage issue in the tropical climate down there.
