Has anyone else tried this film?

I just developed a roll again - and it looks good! It's drying just now, so no scans till tomorrow.

It was used by Zeiss to test their Biogon 25/2.8 ZM setting a resolution "record".

You can scan it at 5400 dpi and not notice the grain. :)

It is admittedly not as fast as HP5 etc, so it's not much good for night shots, but in normal daylight it's fine.

I've got some exposed but haven't been in the dark enough lately to get it run- what was your time/temp/dilution combo?

I develop according to the datasheet:

Using SPUR Nanospeed UR, 10 + 240 ml (250 ml covers the spiral in my JOBO tank)
20 °C 5 1/2 min. constant agitation the first 30 s, then once every 30 s.

Ilford Stopbath

only 60 s of fixing (in Ilford fixer)

I seem to remember, it's good to get the lid on quickly and start inverting as soon as you can.

Good luck.
