I've used the very common Tri-X and HC110 combination quite a bit. In good diffuse light, skin tones can look quite "luminous." There is grain, of course, but it seems to work well with skin texture. I am beginning to experiment with HP5+/Xtol and Pan F with Rodinal (prickly sharp grain!). After some work, you will have some good options for overall texture. Some people like Plus-X or even Tmax400CN (very smooth) For me the 400CN is a little bland. You'll just have to see what you like.(posted 8811 days ago)
