Gene,
I used a variations of this film years ago. It is phenomenal for certain
light situations but without the halation backing it is quite squirrely. I
think it is more sensitive to I/R. It is best in overcast light and does
well with foggy weather. It has a pronounced adjacency effect in sunlit
scenes. I have 35mm pictures that are almost unbelievably fine grained. The
negs are sort of erie and beautiful without the halation backing.
