What you should learn is that this is pixel peeping of film world and has nothing to do with photography Tmax, HP5 .. are all just great films and all very suitable for using as a medium in film photography. None of the films mentioned here make you bad photographer. None of the manufacturers guarantee better photographs when using their film

Getting into your heart and using it to express yourself is a lot more difficult to learn.

I like pixel peeping and understanding what's happening in that emulsion, and thanks to the posters in this thread, I know a lot more now. What I meant in my post is you see all these comparisons on photo blogs by people purporting to be "testing" films. Thing is, they all come to different conclusions. I've read ton of blogs trying to learn about film. It was pointless. I learned what I need to know right here.

Do get hold of Richard J Henry's 'Controls in Black and White Photography' if you can - it shows the level of knowledge, ability and kit needed to properly test emulsions in a consequential and absolutely comparable manner - and just how far short of this most of these 'tests' online & elsewhere fall. Going beyond Henry's level of work would require the sort of equipment usually only found in manufacturers' R&D/ QC labs.
