It was a real pain to get the stuff exposed right at 3 iso - its much
finicky about exposure and development, and most of the pictures (I
bracketed) were either too over or too under. I developed it in diluted
PAPER developer. Just few shots were worth it, though. It was more a test
of it than real photography. Now I plan to do some more, with XTOL diluted
(which is said to give normal-contrast 0.65 gamma with Tech pan, and this
film is _slightly_ similar. Not much, really, but I think i will try it).
And I thought of using METOL pure, as a extremely soft developer. What do
the B&W gurus think ;) ? The paper developer was still too contrasty for my
taste. Or an extremely diluted rodinal (although I could get past the point
of enough active ingredient in the solution to develop the film ;(
