One more thing

Tri-X non professional was the one. Oddly, Tri-X professional was a slightly different film and another kettle of fish. Go figure. It came in 220 rolls rather than 120, but had less contrast.

I don't have the time to try to find it, if it is even still out there, but there were lab tests done on many of the available films back then developed in several popular developers and Tri-X and HC 110 gave the sharpest results.

Of course the traditional wisdom was that finer grain films like Pan-X and Plus-X were sharper. They did have finer grain, but we're softer when enlarged. The solution to grain is a larger negative, not finer grain film. That's a bit inconvenient, but it is what it is.
