Peter,

As far as I know this film is made for the use to make movies, I think it is from Kodak, it is not usual to find it all the stores, but I dislike the grain and the B&W tones.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked my light estimation, this was quite usual i old times and was useful to observe the light, finally I adquired a good practice but this was lost (at bleast for me) when I have used digital cameras. I like the IIIF you can carry it always in your pocket, on this case it was in a exhibition.

Cheers
Lluis
