It's an ISO 800-1000 film, but contrast seems to be optimized for exposing it at EI 3200. You can push the spped further, if necessary, but you'll lose some shadow detail. Meter it carefully (oddly for a B&W negative film, I get best results using an incident meter), and stick to Kodak's recommended development times if you don't have time to sort these out for yourself in advance. Develops nicely in D-76, T-Max, or Xtol -- latter two are arguably the best. Chuck Albertson Seattle, Wash.
