Good grief, you make me laugh.  This is simply a foolish statement, and I
can't imagine how you expect anyone to take you seriously.  I don't mean to
be mean here, but you just say things that have no basis in reality.  What
did you do to the poor Tri-X 4x5 to make it come out so horribly?  I
absolutely know my 35mm Tri-X gives FAR more detail than the Signal SD-9,
which is what I assume you meant.

Again, simply utterly silly.  Good for a laugh though...

It appears from your claims here, and like on the Piezo list, you simply
don't know how to use film!
