I've gotten excellent results at two one-hour labs so far. Interestingtly my prolab has not had much call to process any of it. Probably because their regular customers are still shooting PlusX/TriX/HP5+, etc. Haven't hadbig enlargements made yet, but I can confirm that the grain is exceedingly fine. And my clients enjoy the lower cost for 100 copies of a picture as compared to the regular custom b/w lab prices. Christopher Morrow Canandaigua, NY (Beautiful Finger Lakes) chris@chrismorrow.com
