Re: Panatomic X is still available ...

I do not think it is actually Panatomic X, but does have similar grain. 
Interestingly the film and the paper are slighly different speeds. But if you 
expose for the film, you will get a print that is ok for checking composition, 
etc. After awhile you will even be able to tell whether the film is properly 
exposed from the print as you get so you know what a print looks like from a 
properly exposed negative. Consider the print as a rough proof.

Comments?
