(PIC) The reason for more contrast

After looking online for Ilford's SFX and finding a long list of "where's my SFX film?" questions, any thoughts on where I could find some? This link came up too: http://www.digitaltruth.com/chart/sc...-paterson.html Ilford's Info sheet online for SFX is copyrighted 2002. Do they still make it? Thanks, Jim One of my local places still had some, but it might just be a left-over from a last shipment. I knew that Ilford stated they would discontinue this film, but there should be some stocks still out there. My guess is that all that criticism about it not being a "true" infrared film turned off potential buyers. That is definitely a shame, since it makes a quite nice normal extended range film. Kodak TMX400 is another choice that you might like. I find it too harsh on contrast and not what I want in skin tones, so I have little use for it with my B/W work. As to the info sheet link, all I have to say is that after trying Ilfotec DD-X with Ilford Delta 3200 and HP5+, I am convinced it is the best choice. It might be worth taking a test film of the same scene, cutting into strips, and trying several different developers. Then you can see which might give you the best negative to use for your images.
