I shot mainly plus x which I bought in 100 ft rolls and which would be because of that amazingly cheap. Avedon uses plus x. Irving pen uses plus x. Or used. Cant be all bad. I still use it in 220. They don?t make it in 70 with Hassy sprockets anymore. But I may go sprocket less. Get converted. I have to go to classes first. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
