kodak tri-x.

Of all the reason one might want to use film that is not on the list,
at least not my list, never liked tri-x.

William,

let me share a secret :
you are suggesting slide film to a person self-named 'Big Prick'.

If you like to project color slides, or even enjoy looking at slides with
a
good loupe, then film is the way to go. Also, if you like to take a few of
your slides and have them blown up to 12 x 18 or larger and frame them,
then
slide film is the way to go. As you say, both mediums have their
uses.......

William,

Really? - You have a point. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bothered to
answer at all......But that's one of my failings....I naively believe that
anyone who would bother to spend his/her time on a newsgroup must be really
interested in learning and/or teaching something to others....Alas, it is
not the case. There seem to be people who, like terrorists, want to spend
their short time here on earth tearing down or disrupting the useful
institutions of mankind. I wonder what they will say when St. Peter asks,
"And what did you do with your life, my son?"

But posting with a stupid name doesn't necessarily prove that you aren't an
idiot...
