I've been using more Kodak now than I used to.  I think Tmax
with Polymax paper is a well-matched combination...Kodak
did that on purpose.  I've seen other photographers who now
stick with only those products including John Sexton.  I was on
an Ilford kick for a while...FP4 Plus with Multigrade fiberbase
paper.  Now I'm mixing it up a bit.
