It's too bad that the Ortho film is too expensive to ship. I have used it with dilute Dektol and it works just fine - a considerably better alternative then paper. I do have a few boxes of Kodak EL film in the 10X12 size that I'd be willing to part with on the cheap. How much do I know about this film? Very close to zero. It was one of those things that I got a "real good deal" on quite some time back and it has been sitting in the freezer ever since. It was my plan to test it out with pinhole, but other things have gotten in the way. Information about the film can be found here: http://www.kpgraphics.com/products/USC/film/camera/Ti2104/Ti2104.htm. If you would like to consider this then please let me know offline.
