Stephen Coolridge –
I found this film to be a little more difficult to load as it’s coated onto a rather thin base for which I shall drop it a star but once you overcome that you’re in for a real treat!
Superfine detail that is so crisp and so sharp it reminds you of just how remarkale large format can be…it’s extreme to say the least. Contrast and tonal range is in the upper end of the contrast scale bbut edge detail and sharpness is unparalelled by anything I’ve shot so far.
Will I buy again? For sure I will.
