Re: [APML] Tech Pan and Bluefire Film

[georgea@cam.org]

I received several rolls of Bluefire a few months ago.
I ran a bunch of tests on the film, and while it is really fine grained it is 
also very red dead.
I hypered it with times varying between 5 and 80 hours at 15PSI and 50c. 
Hypering had no measurable effect on the film for red sensitivity. I have to 
admit that I didn't pay too much (if any) attention to how it responded to 
other colours.
I am still waiting for a chance to try it out on lunar photography, I believe 
that it will be an excellent choice for this.
