My recent pictures, from the last five years, are (at least to me) proof in silver that Tri-X Pan is not required to make good photographs. And as many of you know, I come from Rochester and shot for Kodak from 1984-2010. I used TXP for all my personal work from 1981 or so and for a great deal of industrial photography on the job. in 2010 I tested and chose Ilford FP4+ and prefer it now. The changeover wasn't difficult. The pictures look as good or better (to me anyway).
So here's a word from a longtime loyalist. if Kodak's price turns you off, just find another film. There are still enough choices that you'll find one you like.
