Michael:

I agree that it does react, it just reacts a lot less, it seems.  I shot a
lot with a G (orange) and an XO (yellow-green) in Germany and neither had
any meaningful effect on the end product (the XO looked like no filter at
all).  As I noted on your PAW, the 25A produces about the same effect
that I get out of a G on silver b/w film.

Cheers
Dante
