Observations must be that it is very temperature sensitive and negs can turn unacceptably thin if processing drops just a degree from 75degF. It is also very susceptible to streaks from over agitation during development. Apart from that at 10x8 many people can't tell it from an older technology 400 speed film. The one result I've seen from it pushed to 6400 was all soot and chalk with grainy images - suitable for some subjects but I doubt it would be suitable for a wedding. - -- David Prakel dprakel@rochester.rr.com
