[pure-silver] Subjective Opinions of Pan F , TMX, or...

I have a client who is looking to do a project possibly using Pan F and Pyrocat 
HD.  Other Pyro developers would be acceptable as well for him.  I'd like to 
advise him with a this vs that opinion, but even having used this combo in the 
past, I never had time to make any comparisons except that the Pan F negs 
looked 
great and will probably print so...if I ever get 'round to them.

So I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's used this film/developer 
combo 
and their subjective opinions such as better/worse shadow detail, etc.  Feel 
free to mention any times/dilutions if you like.  My assumption, at this point, 
is that the Pan F negs will has much finer grain and from what I've read, an EI 
of 25-32.

My client's other film of choice is TMX and previous results using Pyrocat HD 
prompted him to call me from Paris to to laud it's qualities and sharpness.  I 
imagine he may use both TMX and Pan F depending on the light.  He'll be 
shooting 
120 and 35mm for this project.

Thanks for any opinions!

Eric
