I was kind of in a grumpy mood when I wrote my original post. :) However, still, compared to approximately 11 grades of B/W contrast filters, 3 is not very flexible. Compared to standard B/W papers, Panalure was difficult to work with. It got to the point where we would not stock Panalure, but would purchase small quantities upon special request. I do have to admit though, Panalure is a far better solution than using standard B/W paper from color negs.
