I use it as an interpositive only. - neg to positive making step. I use it there because it almost never failed to capture EVERYthing in my original negative when making the platinum printing negs.

Anyone know of larger formats of this film? Ilford ortho also gives a decent D-max with your recommended dev. The problem with the Arista or most lith films in general is, by the time you tame the contrast by diluting the devs, you get a low D-max. This may be fine for an interpositive but not great for the final neg. CHEERS!
