Actually, with proper processing and decent printing, this film is
quite stunning... 35mm looks really good as high as 11 x 14
(I've never printed it larger than that), and I can only guess at
what kind of enlargements I can get out of it in 6x7 (my next
experiment!!)
I am quite pleased with the results from this film, although it's
not the highest contrast film I've ever seen, I usually start my
prints at about a 60M filter (the darkroom I print at uses a
Saunders-LPL 4550 enlarger with a Dichroic head) and
adjust from there.
Cheers!
