If Kodak goes Titanic, what will you use in place of Tri-X?

It is not so much the difficulty of obtaining film that worries me but the ability to have it processed. I prefer to deal with a lab directly but they are becoming a rarity. Both these issues would occur simultaneously, IMHO, and then I would go to the M9 as I already have the lenses.

Good luck.

I just looked up Adox this weekend and found an outlet for it here in the states. I'm excited! Any recommendations or thoughts on their products?

Could you share the name of the outlet you found?

thanks

Yeah, the story I got is that ADOX not only bought the rights to reproduce Agfa products, but they actually purchased much of the original production equipment and hired many of the same employees.

 

I've been using their Rodinal (now called Adonal) for a few years, with excellent results. It performs exactly the same, which of course it should, since it uses the same formula with the same ingredients made with the same equipment by the same people.

 

I can't wait to try the ADOX PAN 100 (not yet released), supposedly exactly like Agfa APX 100 but improved (whatever that means). They also have CHS 100, which is an old-school silver-rich emulsion. The Agfa PAN APX 400 was almost exactly like Tri-X (much closer than HP-5) so, hopefully, the ADOX PAN 400 should be the closest thing to Tri-X.

At my present rate of consumption, my widow will have some Tri-X (rolls and bulk) along with some Plus-X (rolls only) to sell, with a dedicated freezer thrown in. Life has to slow down soon......I hope.
