I am wondering WHY Kodak is unwilling to make Tri-X 4x5 available in
Readyload?  Tri-x is a great film, and it does hold up well as far as
local contrast is concerned when you do "Minus Development".  I can't
believe there is ONLY ONE Kodak Black and White Readyload choice, and

I have several hundred sheets of boxed and sealed Super Panchro Press Type B

I send all my E6 to a local lab but am concerned that they will drop it.

What is the color of Rodinal Developer (concentrate) when it is brand

is not threaded. The outside of the housing for the front element is
