A good inexpensive film

Easy to handle, with a nice thick base, this film gives good results with D76, though it's always a surprise when the developer comes out green!

Excellent Gradation &  Expansion Development

As the previous review states this film offers a nice “organic” and “edgy” artistic quality that is great for urban-cultural documentary or fine art portraiture. I process in Pyrocat HD Pyro but it also responds excellent in Perceptol 1:2 and 1:3 and also ID-11 or D-76 1:1 in my experience.  I’ve found it very dependable.   Plus for those who UV print for such processes as platinum printing I have found it to work very nicely. I follow Sandy Kings (resource tab) for technical guidelines from his website- Intro To Pyro Staining Developers. This film brings “fell” to one’s creative photographic art in my opinion.
