Strength:

The most grainless film ever made. The extended red response also lets it behave somewhat like infrared film. There's nothing else like it.

Weakness:

You should process it yourself in Technidol.

Large format quality in roll film sizes.

Strength:

Excellent, wide-lattitude film with as little grain as there is thsi side of a holographic plate.

Weakness:

Nobody keeps the chemicals to develop it around any more.

Actually, it's not hard to process, it's just hard to find the chemicals, unless you're down the road from a photo distributor.

It is wonderful, and you can capture a huge range and then use printing to snap things up if need be, but if you want deep shadow detail and sky, this is your baby.

Strength:

Extremely fine grain. Has low to medium contrast which can lead to great portraits. Very enlargeable if processed correctly.

Weakness:

Slow and very difficult to process. Not too many labs know how to process this film.

This film is difficult to process but can lead to some of the most enlargeable negatives regardless of format. Process it correctly and reap the rewards of a virtually grainless negative. Mess up the processing, and you can end up with black/white line art type images. I've steered away from this film because it is hard to find labs who will process this film consistently.
