Tech Pan was a wonderful film, developed in Rodinal @ 1:100 superb results
were possible. 35mm convenience with the quality of medium format. Grain
was virtually non-existent, mid tones were beautifully creamy.
They've got to be kidding if they say TMax 100 is an alternative to Tech

I've thrown together some samples of scans to compare the grain of Tech
Pan, Panatomic X and TMax 100, have a look at this:
