Michael,

I plan to try this film soon but for lens pictures.

About differences between Chimie II and Chimie IV, I understand that :

-  Chimie Type II is reserved for ROTARY process and above all is adapted
for development at  38°C temperature. This is marketed as an advantage for
studio photographers who are accustomed to develop colour processes (C41
and/or Ekta E6) at this high temperature.
- Chimie type IV is more versatile and may be used for tray development as
well as tank development or rotary process. It may be used at 20°C
temperature which makes it really practical for most black & white darkroom
aficionados... And with this type IV, you can play with levels of the gamma
to get higher gamma index (variations on contrast of the negatives).

In any case, I compared the cost of this film with traditional ones : the
cost of the developing "soup" is really too high...

Hope it helps
Cheers from France

Jean
