Ok, I know this has been talked about in here before but I searched and couldn't find anything truely dedicated to this topic.
What are the differences between a T-grain film (ex: TMAX, delta, acros) and a conventional film (ex: HP5, forte, Efke, Tri-x)? This is what I know so far to be true: T-grain films have less forgiving latitudes and are less forgiving to processing errors. Conventional films have a random grain pattern, where T-grain films are constructed. T-grain films have more even tonalities and are finer grained than their conventinal counterparts.
I'd like to hear everyone's view on this as well as experiences anyone has had who has tried both types and why you prefer one to the other. I'm in search of trying a new 4x5 film out and right now my two top favorites to try are Delta-100 and either Efke 100 or FP4.
