Hopefully, the previous comments are not taken as a slam against the film.  I
also don't like Tri-X, but I have good friends who would never allow the film to
be taken from them.  SFX200 is indeed another tool available to the
photographer, and if it gives one the results they are seeking, then it should
matter little what any of us say.
