[APML] More film tests

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

I have done some more testing of the Ilford SFX-200. It does improve
with both pre-flashing and vacuum baking. But even the combination of
the two still doesn't make it suitable for AP work. I have a partial
roll remaining which I'll test for hypering when my gas arrives in
another two or three weeks.
On the plus side I did a very quick test of Ilford's Delta 400 film,
initial results with it deveoped at 800 ISO look promising. Results of a
very quick shoot can be seen at
http://www.angelfire.com/space/lunatic/delta_400.htm .
If the weather holds and the moon doesn't interefere too much I'll run
some more tests tomorrow night with the HA filter and a 135mm lens (with
better alignment if time allows).
