[Leica] Miss you guys: Corona PAW

[Jeffery Smith]

My only complaint about the film is that it is too expensive, and I think silver content has gone down. I'm finding that Kentmere 400 is close enough to APX 400 that I can develop with divided D-23 and tame the grain and contrast. For the slower films (Kentmere 100,  APX100, Acros, FM4+) the Barry Thornton Beutler-like developer is marvelous. Both the developers here are easy to mix up fresh. 

Oh, and some of the films are hard as hell to find online, aways seeming to be backordered by several months.
