Use a real film, > like tri-x, but expose it at 250 (where kodak actually hints at...). I think possibly you misinterpreted Delagi's motives. Delagi's article was a discussion of how to get the best sharpness and minimum grain, using whatever film he could find that would do the best job. (He gave very good discussions of developers, incidentally, and claimed to have devised the formula used in Kodak's Technidol developer.) I would think that Tri-X would not satisfy him, since it is an extremely grainy film! -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
