Hello everybody,
I am new here as you can see and have followed this forum for some time now. It was Iwagoshi who made me aware of this place, thanx for that.
A couple of weeks ago I was able to lay my hands on some Technical Pan film. The films are extremely over date, like expiration year 1992/1993 and even 2 films 1985. Never heard of that film before then and decided to give it a go.
I treated it as 100 asa film, developed it for 6 minutes in the HC-110 since I didn't know what to expect from it. Negs were thin and gave a hard result.
Despite that I have fallen in love with it. I'll post 3 examples:

So i went on looking for more info on the film. Unfortunately I found out it's no longer being made. Fortunately I also found out the ATP-V1 is supposed to be an as -close- as- it- gets replacement of that film.
I'm looking in to what developer I might use best in the future since I still have some rolls of that Techfilm and want to try out the ATP-V1 very soon, would I do best with the RCL cause it can handle both films well?
I will experiment with one more film in the HC-110, now treated as 25 ASA film, again developed at 6 minutes to see what the difference will be.
I really liked that contrasty result it provided me with and I assume the low contrast developer will give much softer results, with much more detail, right?
Sorry for the maybe kinda vague post as I feel rather unknowledged compared to the rest of you people here
