It is definitely more picky about exposure than a standard B&W negative film, and I also find it more difficult to scan than most other films. But sometimes the results are worth it, because this film has quite a unique signature. It is more expensive to develop than standard slide film and there are also few labs in the world that can do it (Agfa has a list on its web site). Give it a try!
