I finally got to run a roll through my Canon IID2 rangefinder and found the film advance very crunchy and resistant. I'm also not thrilled about these plastic canisters.

Kodak is best but twice the price. This stuff is about ASA 200, not 400, it also needs more than the indicated development time. Trial and error will tell how much to over expose and develop. You can get good results

Love the grainy, dreamy quality of this stock. I picked it up since so many people compared it to the old school Kodak Tri-X. Seems to halate more (could just be my lens), but was definitely very pleasing. If you're looking for pristine and grain free then move on. If you like some character, contrast, grain, and maybe some dreaminess (depending on your lens) then have at it.

A nicely balanced film, with a wide exposure lattitude when your meter fails. Develops nicely in D76
