I did a metering test using OptioS and Mz-5n;
found that latter overexposes by 2 stops.

Hi Mark,
with regards to Ilford SFX, I have used this film to good results. It
doesn't have the sort of ethereal appearance of Kodak HIE, but that's
because HIE lacks antihalation layer (which makes most of its IR
pictures too pictorialist and ugly, unless used carefully). Of course
SFX's sensitiv
Reviews and price suggest that it is inferior to the FA 24-90, so much
so that I wouldn't buy one.
Joe
You say no software modification,
Was the camera's inbuilt sharpening enabled?
Anyway great macro shots.
Thanks

Also, sRGB should be close to what you can get on a print. AdobeRGB loses a
lot of oomph when printed. The profiles can be compared to a print and a
