Once upon a time there was a company that was known for the saying "You press the button we do the rest." Everyone knew Kodak. Everyone knew Kodachrome, Ektachrome and Kodacolor. Everyone knew TRI-X, PLUS-X, Panatomic-X and we knew when to use them. If you started out the day with Panatomic-X loaded in you camera you had to work in bright light or on a tripod until you finished the roll. Finishing a roll often took awhile. You would not waste film - it was money. I miss the smell of fixer and the endless hours in the darkroom. I loved seeing the world in amber light.
