Advantages and Diadvantages of B/W films
Hi, I would like to know some things for an assignment. What are the advantages and disadvantages, and what are the best uses for the following B/W films: Ilford PANF PLUS 50, Ilford SFX 200, and Kodak TMAX 400. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Glenn W.

Let's start with the advantages: PAN F+ 50
Tremendous exposure latitude
very fine grain
excellent sharpness SFX 200
Infrared-like when used with a red filter.
Useful for special effects T-MAX 400
High speed
Good general purpose film with great latitude Now the disadvantages: PAN F+ 50
Slow
Not as fine grained as the barely slower Technical Pan SFX 200
I can't think of any. T-MAX 400
Quite grainy for my taste. I much prefer the chromogenic films when I need a speed 400 B/W film.
