    Freestyle is now selling a bw film it claims to have been made in the USA for them. Does anyone know who actually makes it? I don't know to many mfgrs are making bw in the US today.

    I shoot and process a lot of the Arista EDU 400 in various formats. I have come to the conclusions it is Kodak Tri-X 400 but on a thinner sub straight. No matter how I expose it or process it the characteristics are the same as Tri-X. I've used several
    different developers and likewise they all perform the same with it as they do the Tri-X. If it is not Tri-x it might as well be.

    I also shoot the Arista EDU 100 sheet film. I have processed it with various developers as well and it is close to Kodak 100 but not as identical as the 400 to the Tri-X.
