I know there is some disagreement about this, but in my experience
Ilford FP-4 Plus is comparable to Kodak Plus X with a couple of
exceptions. The important one being that FP-4 seems to look sharper, oh
yes, and it's also still manufactured. I used to buy FP-4 because it was
less expensive. They're both old fashioned, well more or less,
traditional films.

A little while ago the topic of Plus-X film came up. I just stumbled
into this:

At $6.98 per roll it is a bit too pricey for me (I have a dozen roll
in the freezer already) but if anyone wants to get some it seems like
they have it.
This place also sells a house film called Ultrafine Xtreme which is
rumored to be re-branded Kentmere. I don't know if that is true or not
but the films look exactly the same and my preliminary tests (I've
only tried 2 rolls and only in Rodinal) have yeilded very consistent
results between the two. The published times for the films are
significantly different - but, for Rodinal 1:50 at least, the
published time for the Ultrafine seems significantly too short.
