B&W film for high contrast

Since Kodak has quit making Tech Pan does anybody know of a good easy
to get B&W film for high contrast work?

I'm looking for a film which can be used to record blacks and white
while eleminating the mid tones.

I've always gotten contrasty results by pushing any film a couple of stops. Test that with tmax 100 and see if you like the results.

I've tried doing that but the results are not what I am looking for.
Still too much mid tones left.
Tmax is about the poorest quality film I have ever tried. Any
manipulation turns tone muddy gray.

Did they stop making it or just stop making it in 35mm?

As far as I know Tech Pan is no more.

Calumet still lists it in sheets.

According to Kodak it will be available till the remaining stock has
been depleted.
They discontinued coating several years ago.
Tech Pan has long been a favorite of mine and I will miss it. However
2 films I have found while not as good but worth trying are Kodak
PX125 Pro and Fuji Neopan Acros 100.

I've always found Tri-X to be good. Though I've never tried a thick
emulsion film like Super-XX.

How thick would you like it to be?

You could have just said you didn't know what I was
talking about.

I knew- I was being purposely difficult
