I shot a roll of, I think, XP1 back in May of 1982. I figured it would be perfect for a concert situation... K-1000 with the Takumar 135mm f2.5 on it. In theory, it handled a wide range of cruddy exposure choices. In reality, I was left with something that wasn't quite brilliant on the whites and not really great in the blacks, despite a lot of heavy post-processing. http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/1982/john_watts/index.html So.. it kinda works, but it's a niche film that I wouldn't bother with again. I know I didn't after this. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
