    John,

    Yes, now all HP5+ here. Test and calibrate. Available locally here, so it has become my "go-to" film. I shoot 4x5.

    Yes I'm also using HP-5 in 25 and 100 sheet boxes for 4x5 and 25 sheet boxes for 5x7.
    I have used T-max and TRI-X 320 but in D-76 (Clayton C-76) developer I got better results with the HP5. Less mottling in the sky, and lower contrast which was better for my workflow.

    Thanks! I checked it out from the library a while back. It really is a great book.

    John, since I just posted a new HABS thread, I was looking through the old ones. Is that you at DT?

    the best advice I can give you is to get yourself a good dictionary of engineering, architectural, planning and "historic" terminology and learn how to do site research using Sandborn Insurance Maps. the "lingo" from the dictionary &c will help you navigate the descriptions, and the sandborn maps will help you decipher what the site "was" if that's not how it still "is". the insurance maps are invaluable because they show the whole site, building materials, foot prints &c. usually when one is asked to do HABS/HAER work there are remnants of the "feature system" ( how the site works ) that the photographer might have to hunt around for. oh, you should also poke around the society of industrial archaeology website for HAER related, there might be a similar website for architectural historians that you might benefit from to do HABS type work ... good luck, and enjoy the go.
