(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:

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.
