A good folm. In fact, everything I can say about Plus-X would be "good". Not great, certainly not bad. Not what I would seek out, but something I would be willing to use with confidence. I find the grain structure looks best when exposed at ISO 64 rather than 125. and the tonal quality seems best that way, also.

Very versatile film. Very tolerant to exposure and processing errors.

Grainier than newer tech films (Delta, TMax)

This once used to be my "crappy light" film. I now use Ilford FP4+ - I prefer the look.

Easy to develope, provides a fairly tight grain.

This is the film I primarily shoot with. I usually will only enlarge to 8x10. After that you start losing grain quality. Not much but enough to make me dissatisfied with a print.

As everyone knows, Plus-X is an easy-to-develop classic emulsion with wonderfully retro-looking grain, just like its sibling Tri-X. Great for portraits.

Not for those seeking super-fine grain (use APX or TMX 100 instead).

An all-time classic B&W film, perfect for achieving that 1930s HCB look. Easy to develop for beginners.

Plus-X is really great stuff. If I am not mistaken, plus-x used to be the fastest stuff around, and everyone used that "development by inspection" technique that no one (including me) seems to know how to do today. Ok, so you are not going to enlarge it past a certain point (But didn't Robert Frank shoot all plus-x and enlarge it to 11x14?). Works particularly well in older emulsions like DIAFINE or Rodinol.

None really. It's kinda slow and not as punchy as T-MAX 100. Yet, you should be using fill-flash anyway, right?

Good stuff. Buy it in bulk really cheap!

Kodak has pretty nice charts.

Variety of use. Adaptability.

Sepia tones tend to develop.

For the subject, people, you cannot find a better B&W film.

A wonderful classic emulsion. Not as sharp or fine-grained as the newer tech films of the same speed (e.g., TMX), but has a wonderful look and great exposure and processing latitude.

Nope.

Unjustly overlooked now, Plus-X is a wonderful "old tech" film that produces gorgeous results and is much more forgiving than newer films.

Kodak's CS is legendary!

All of them - APX 100 (also great!), FP4 Plus, and the newer TMX and Ilford Delta 100

Very tolerant of exposure, but very good results. I also like techpan and I dislike TMAX so you can probably figure my preferences.

Often hard to find. I use it mostly in 120/220. Hard to find labs to develop 220 B&W.

I think it's probably the film I've shot my best images with to date. Thjat's [partially because of where I was at the time :-)

FP4. Different but I like both.

I could develop it myself.

Haven't used it in a looooong time now, but I'm sure it's the same nice B&W film that it used to be. Back when I used to have a darkroom, I'd have tons of fun printing out very nicely contrasted and pretty much grainless pictures. Even good sized enlargements (11x14!) looked nice.
