Review Summary

Film emulsion offers great tonal range when exposed at box speed and processed in HC-110 (dilution B). Grain seems to be a little bit finer than Ilford HP4 but slightly courser than Kodak Tri-X 400. I have not attempted to stand develop or push/pull this film yet. The only con I have is the film base seems to be rather thin, almost paper-like. This makes it slightly fumbly to load into reels for developing.

Works wonderfully for portraits or all around shooting. A bit more expensive than most films but worth it for the different look due to the slight infrared sensitivity .

great film that gives a classic black and white look without being cartoonish, or simply poor quality (what most "vintage" looks actually are).
