Bergger claims to appease fans of Super XX ...Originally Posted by Turner Reich
They used to make that claim, but Fortepan/Bergger 200 had little in common with SXX, save for being a grainy medium speed B&W film.
I'm not a big fan of Bergger but it works. I have no experience with Super XX.
Read Page #1.
It's much better to be a spectacular failure than an apologetic one...

I read and responded to the first post and later read more of the thread. It sounds like you have a lot of experience with that film.
I didn't get started in photography until 1996 and by that time Super XX may have already ceased in production. My favorite films are TriX Pro, Agfa APX100, TMax-100, Tmax 3200, and HP5. I think FP4 will be fine whenever I get around to shooting some. I've shot a little of old formula TMax-400 in 35mm. Bergger is a bit too grainy and requires a lot of light to get the kind of exposure I like.
Super XX was discontinued in 1990/1991. Plus it was a very expensive film relatively speaking particularly in ULF sizes.
I am not participating in the lounge any longer Joe for a reason. I would rather concentrate on the art and craft of photography.
Cheers!
My teacher liked PlusX which must be from the same family as SuperXX. I liked HIE and Recording Film too both discontinued. The only ALT processes I did were Polaroid transfers, Cyanotype, some solarization and reticulation, and texture screens mostly right after school.
I'm pretty simple in my approach to imaging.
With only a couple of boxes of 4x5 left in the freezer I guess I'll use it up. I use Efke 25 quite a lot but haven't used the T Max 400, I'll have to give it a try. I'm going to look for a film that works best with the new contact paper.
