I ran a test on some the other week - exposed the same scene from ISO 25 to ISO 1600. There wasn't much of a difference on the negative and none of the muddiness you get with T400CN underexposed. I got mine developed in the minilab downstairs and they came back black and white. None of this brown stuff. Also, there were none of the usual arguments you tend to get when you give a minilab film they haven't seen before. I took some portraits of my daughter with it - it's very smooth and has a good range of tones. Very grainless as well, at least in the prints. I went out and bought a brick of it straight away. dave -- dave o'brien - http://www.diaspoir.net Si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse pouvait.
