Thanks, Marco. Glad you liked the shots!
Pro Max is currently being sold by Lauder Photographic on eBay and their
own website. It is described as having "... high clarity, wide exposure
latitude, and good physical characteristics, can meet various
requirements such as high-temperature and high-humidity. It features
processed functions of resisting adhesion and scratch, and widely used
in portrait, adv, landscape,journey and art photography etc. The use of
a new type of silver halide grain emulsion, ensure excellent sharpness
and fine grain even at enlargement."
If you plug that description into google it will pull up many pages
promoting Lucky SHD, so I assume that Pro Max 100 is Lucky SHD 100 (or
else that is quite a coincidence.)
I bought it simply because it was cheap, but I have since found better
sources and could probably come close to matching the price for
pre-packaged rolls and many bulk films are cheaper. I was surprised to
see that the price of Pro Max has increased in the last few months.
This film has a weak anti halation layer which can make it interesting -
though it usually is more of a disadvantage than not. Other than that,
the quality is generally OK - I've seen no emulsion defects in the ~40
rolls I've shot, the grain structure is good enough to allow for using
Rodinal (though I have settled on HC110) and overall results are consistent.

Both this and Deep... Dark... are quite wonderful. But what is this "film" you
speak of?
