Many thanks, Thomas I had a look, but seems all the rolls are gone. >From the beginning we wanted to work with reversal, and we had to start in january (being the project about a year long observation of a garden), but we weren't able to grab any Orwo UN54 stock, for the reasons all of you know, but we had these 2x 400ft of double-x and we said let's have a try to process it as reversal.
I'm pretty happy about the results, and so we go on with it. I suspect that one can get decent results also using N74 or N75 as reversal.
