Pablo,

I have had some success with its extended range. Best results are obtained
with the special filter Ilford make - 58 x 58mm square, Code SFX A,
GIN 1906464. This will slip into a square filter system holder. The film
then needs lots of extra exposure, making a tripod essential. Bracket +3 to
+5 from metered reading at ISO 200. I've posted a rough sample at the link
below. This was given +5 stops and developed in ID11 (D76) stock, 10 mins @
20'C.

Hope this helps,
Richard
