All my experience with those films have found them to have very poor latitude. The mid range is just about non existent, for want of a better description. It doesn't push well either. I was just in there today, and I walked out empty handed. They are a pale shadow of their better days. The old man is now gone, and a younger family member has taken it over. Ostensibly to turn around the low profits, but certainly looking more like the usual generational lack of understanding the customer base. The parking lot was near empty, whereas in the past I would have to park in the street. The grey lab coats that the hired help wore didn't help overcome their poor product knowledge. If they are open another year, I will be very surprised. I would caution anyone shopping there for a 'deal' anymore. I still the 5x7 Cambo if anyone is interested, with a 4x5 reducing back.
