My favorites evolve, but I remember my own tendencies early on were to muck about, and upon hitting some lucky combination of emulsion, exposure, developing, and printing to declare "Urethra! the magic bullet has been found!"
Later, as my control and consistency grew, I found the differences in my results were not nearly so much attributable to a particular film, developer, or paper, but to me and my control and experience with that particular thing.
I still find many differences in films, papers, developers etc. but they are much more subtle than I used to think.
I have come to understand that outstanding results are possible with almost anything so long as you understand the performance characteristics.
AMEN brother!

That's a really mature and experienced way to explain it. We all have our "favorites" and I can really relate to the "Magic Bullet" Theory

Real words of turth, thanX, I can't wait for the moment I stop "mucking" around.
Just as an aside, did you mean "Urethra" as an expletive.
