It is half the price of Tri-X, but is it half as good?
Any other less costly films out there as I kick into deveoping my own?
Tri-X, Neopan and Ilford are expensive guinea pigs ...

Legacy Pro = Fuji Neopan 400, an excellent film
Arista Edu Ultra = Fomapan, the 400 is old fashioned, the 100 is excellent
Arista Premium = Kodak, the 400 is Tri-x

Fomapan, Shanghai GP3, Lucky.
They're actually not bad, but half the price of the bigger makes.

I tried the Kentmere because it is available locally. I have shot up all four rolls now. The results of the last roll are in the BW gallery.
I have since acquired 12 rolls of the Arista Premium 400 via Freestyle ...

This is a very beautiful photo, Bill.
Love the expression of the girl and the lighting.
Gorgeous B&W tones.
