Kodak Technical Pan was employed for pictorial photography as a secondary purpose, being originally designed for, quote,

Microphotography (Microfilming)
Photographing Electrophoretic Gels
Photomicrography
Electron Micrography
Astronomical Photography
Laser Photography

& if it hadn't been used in large quantities for those purposes it would never have been available for pictorial work anyway. So what's the problem with adapting the usage of materials?
