Re: new TX

[Ernest Nitka <enitka@twcny.rr.com>]

My take on this new TX  is Why Bother. If I have to go to great lengths 
just so I can use HC110  then MY choices are to chuck HC110 or to not buy 
the new TX.  I've elected to not get involved with the new TX as there are 
plenty of other alternatives. In the overall scheme of things this will 
make it easier when Big Yellow folds up it's film tent altogether in 
another 10 years.  Yes then HC110 won't be around then either.  Thank God 
for Ilford is my Mantra.
