Another comment about this film is that it is extremely sharp and virtually
no grain. In fact the lack of grain makes focusing the enlarger difficult.
It is rated as a 400 speed film but I expose it at 320 or lower. Extremely
long latitude. I occasionally use it when I travel and want to confirm my
exposures. I prefer a silver based negative like Plus X for a conventional
use. I use it a lot when testing lenses and systems. So easy to get
processed.

PS: Important item I left out of the example below is the paper..... Tonight
it was Polycontrast IV RC.
