Worth mention is the Aerial Panatomic X. Looks and acts very much like Technical Pan. You shoot it at ASA 32 and the grain is so fine you can't focus with a grain focuser. It is worth doing in 4X5 if you're considering grainless 40X50 enlargements. I had thrown up my hands on doing any more 4X5 with this stuff as I was having to develop it one sheet at a time. The 4 mil thickness doesn't work with any of the usual devices that count on a thick flat piece of film. But enter the JOBO 3010 expert tank. I think you could do 10 of these at a time in a Jobo expert. |
