NOT Trustworthy - Avoid it
By perez from new york, ny on 11/3/2008
Cons:
Poor Quality
Best Uses:
Photojournalism
Describe Yourself:
Pro Photographer
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Shot several rolls of this that were defective - scratches and lines running through all images...tested in various cameras & various labs, all with same result. Used to love the convenience of this film, its good speed and C41 developing, but I will NEVER use it again. Came very close to using it on high paying jobs that would have turned into disasters with those lines.

 
Time Saver
By Stephen C.Verified Purchaser from Daytona Beach, FL on 1/21/2008
Pros:
Accurate, Consistent, Scans Well
Best Uses:
Portraiture
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A great time saver for those who do not have the time to process their own black and white film. This film does not have the orange mask like most C-41 films making it easy to print in the darkroom. Because there is no grain it is very easy to scan and is great for smooth skin tones. I suggest using it for portraiture to give creamy beautiful skin. I still believe traditional black and white film gives better results but for those who like to save time I highly recommend it!

Good Tonal Range, Reproduces Well, Scans Well, Sharp

Describe Yourself:
Professional

What a great combination of speed, sharpness, latitude and tonality! This film makes outstanding traditional silver prints.

Consistent processing each time thanks to C41.

It does not have halide crystals so it scans wonderfully.
