This is 120 Foma 400 in Xtol: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Portraits/File0966.jpg.html Plenty of nice 35mm examples in the thread at RFF: https://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92200&highlight=kentmere+400 Kentmere 400 + ilfotec DD-X - grain-free and a bit mushy. Looks like > Eastman XX. Since Eastman XX is half the speed of Kentmere 400 and twice > the price, there is no reason to buy Eastman XX in 35mm format. These films are all a bit soft - coarse grain and mushy edges. I think HC-110 works really well because of all the strong developing agents and strong restrainers. I like Eastman XX because it scratches less easily, but I have always found that with Kodak vs Ilford films. Marty
