I wonder if anyone in the group has used it. The Frugal Photographer website, where my friend bought it, says it is high resolution, should be exposed at ISO 80, unless using it for document microfilm purposes where higher contrast is needed, and should be developed in a special soup that it sells. Ref: http://www.frugalphotographer.com/Publications/process001.pdf I don't want to bother with developing it myself, and I think I just want to use this film as a one-off, and then show my friend some of the photos, saying thank you for the thoughtful gift. My query is this: do you think it would be adequate to use the film as ISO 80 and then simply give it to the local film-developing store without saying anything further? I ask because the company the film was bought from treat it as being a bit different, being that it was developed as a microfilm. Peter Cheyne
