The true speed of both films is nearer 650-800 ASA. Higher speeds with reasonable contrast requires developerment that seriously impairs quality in the grain and sharpness areas. You do not say at what speed you use TMZ. If 800-1200 ASA is acceptable, try Tri-X with Acufine -
with care in exposure and development, the results are excellent (not
quite up to Tri-X at 400 in D-76, but nice). Another technique: process
the film for high quality, and without changing the processing, shoot
it at double speed and add TTL flash to the ambient light - I call it
"split-flash". It gives me a free extra stop of film speed without
lowering film quality, and also halves the potential exposure-color balance errors (uh, with color film..). Remember you heard it here....
Hope this helps.
